The Power of the Stall: Redesigning the Workplace for Women
We transform women's daily workplace experiences into the data, standards, and accountability needed to better align workplaces where women can stay, advance, and thrive.
Women's workplace outcomes are shaped by daily conditions that are rarely measured or incorporated into organizational design. This initiative leverages a universal, underutilized workplace environment, the bathroom stall, to capture anonymously-sourced, opt-in insights from women in a trusted, private setting. Translating lived experience into structured evidence, the project informs improved workplace practices, retention strategies, and accountability frameworks. The result is a scalable model for integrating women's realities into how workplaces are evaluated, designed, and governed.
