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 as of the end of the reporting period. This metric excludes Temporary Employees (OI9028).

To report in line with 2X Challenge requirements, organizations should disaggregate among direct, indirect, and supplier employees, as relevant in context. 2X Challenge defines these as follows:

• 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 the 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 supply chain disaggregation.

This metric is multi-dimensional with regard 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 IRIS+ and the Five Dimensions of Impact (https://iris.thegiin.org/document/iris-and-the-five-dimensions/). 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.
