The 7 ebbf core values
partnership between women and men in all fields of endeavour
We promote equal partnership between women and men in the workplace, as a way of harnessing human potential and driving a company’s prosperity.
Humanity can be viewed as a bird, with men representing one wing and women the other. Flight depends on the equal development of both wings.
Similarly, organisations that encourage qualities that are characteristic of women, such as developing relationships, teamwork, care, compassion, intuition and sensitivity are moving closer to the new paradigm of work whose hallmarks of success are quality, service and timeliness.
Diversity of gender, as well as that of race and ethnicity, enhances a creative environment and brings new ways of thinking to companies and individuals.
Since enterprises in developed countries rely on innovation for survival, it is crucial for them to harness human potential. Fostering the growth and development of women by welcoming their special capabilities and recognising their unique contribution will thus enhance a company's prosperity.
