Certification portfolio
WWEC operates a single women-centred flagship certification rather than a generic workplace badge. The name intentionally describes the women-centred workplace condition being assessed.
Trademark WWEC Women-Centred Workplace™ is a protected mark of the council. Use of any mark requires an active licence or written permission. Trademark & brand usage.
Final public name
WWEC operates one flagship certification: the WWEC Women-Centred Workplace™ Certification. The Essential, Advanced and Excellence packages define the depth of assessment, insight and improvement support provided. They are not separate standards, separate certifications or separate certification categories. A certification confirms that the organisation met the applicable controlled requirements for the defined scope at the time of certification. These are not rankings, popularity awards or generic employer-of-choice labels.
Flagship certificationThe single WWEC flagship certification. It recognises workplaces that create meaningful, evidenced conditions for women's growth, opportunity, wellbeing and belonging across the full WWEC Workplace Excellence Architecture™ and its eight dimensions.
