Gender Inclusive Operations Assessment and Certification

Inclusion You Can Measure
The Gender Inclusive Operations Assessment and Certification (GIO-Cert) is an institutional framework that evaluates and certifies gender-inclusive practices across workforce, leadership and operational environments.
Organizations apply, pay the assessment fee, and are assessed by FYN. Those that meet the standard are certified as gender inclusive organizations.
