 Home : EOWA Employer of Choice For Women : What is EOWA Employer of Choice For Women
The Employer of Choice for Women (EOCFW) citation is a prestigious acknowledgment by EOWA of organisations that are recognising and advancing women in the workplace.

In October 2001, EOWA announced an initial list of 55 organisations to be given the citation 'EOWA Employer of Choice for Women'. In 2009, this list has grown to 111 organisations.

EOWA will continue to acknowledge organisations as 'EOWA Employer of Choice for Women' in the future, continually revising and updating its list.

Organisations wishing to be considered for the 'EOWA Employer of Choice for Women' citation (valid for one year) can apply for possible inclusion on the list, which will be reviewed annually.

New 'EOWA Employer of Choice for Women' organisations will be added at the discretion of EOWA. These revised lists will be released on the EOWA website and in any relevant EOWA materials, including our seasonal publications, annual report and at our workshops.
Organisations awarded the 'EOWA Employer of Choice for Women' citation are invited to use this citation in their recruitment advertising and other company promotional material.

The EOCFW citation provides significant positioning in a competitive market place, particularly when an organisation is seeking to attract the best possible talent.

Duration
The 2009 'EOWA Employer of Choice for Women' list of organisations was announced on Wednesday, 18 March 2009.

Previously the EOCFW list has been announced during the EOWA Business Achievement Awards held later in the year towards November, but experience has shown that due to the limited time available during this lunch event, and the high profile the award winners receive the EOCFW list has not been given the attention that it deserves.

Every existing EOWA Employer of Choice for Women company will be able to continue to use its Employer of Choice for Women status until the announcement of the new list is made the following February.
