Full-time Employees: Female (OI6213)

This metric is intended to capture the number of unique female individuals employed by the organization in full-time roles at the point in time defined by the reporting end date. This metric excludes Temporary Employees (OI9028).

To report against 2X Challenge requirements, organizations must should disaggregate by direct, indirect, and supplier employees, as relevant to the investee context. 2X Challenge definitions for this disaggregation are:

• Direct workforce: Share of women directly employed by the investee organization.
• Contracted workers: Share of women among third party workers engaged to perform work related to core business processes for a substantial duration.
• Supply chain: Share of women among investee€™s primary supplier workforce. If corresponding proportion of primary suppliers meet entrepreneurship or senior management criteria, this may also justify 2X eligibility. Organizations may also use Supplier Individuals: Total (PI5350) and Supplier Individuals: Female (PI1728) to capture the latter disaggregation.

This metric is multi-dimensional in regards to the five dimensions of impact: it may help describe the WHO dimension when the stakeholder group represented by the metric is the stakeholder group targeted by the investment or organization. It may also help measure the HOW MUCH Scale dimension, which helps estimate the number of the targeted stakeholders experiencing the outcome. For more on the alignment of IRIS metrics to the five dimensions of impact, see specific guidance document. No single metric is sufficient to understand an impact; rather, metrics are selected as a set across all dimensions of impact. When possible, the selection of metrics to measure and describe the five dimensions should be based on best practice and evidence.
