Gender Equality Plan

Last updated: March 2026

Relevé is co-founded and led by Wynne Teeter (CEO), and is committed to gender equality as a core organizational value — not a compliance exercise. As a small technology company building tools for Europe's arts and cultural sector, we recognize that equitable, inclusive organizations produce better outcomes for the communities they serve. This Gender Equality Plan formalizes commitments we already practice and provides a framework to uphold them as we grow.

Work-life balance and organizational culture

  • Flexible working hours and remote-first operations
  • No meetings-only culture — asynchronous communication is the default
  • Parental leave and caregiving responsibilities are accommodated without career penalty

Gender balance in leadership and decision-making

  • Co-founded by a woman (CEO) and a man (CTO) with equal decision-making authority
  • As the team grows, we commit to gender-balanced hiring panels and shortlists
  • Advisory and stakeholder input will be sought from diverse voices in the cultural sector

Gender equality in recruitment and career progression

  • Job postings use inclusive language reviewed for bias
  • Salary bands are transparent and equal across genders
  • Performance reviews will be structured and criteria-based to reduce subjective bias

Integration of the gender dimension into research and product design

  • Relevé's platform tracks fair pay and equitable labor practices — gender pay equity is a core metric
  • User research includes diverse organizational types led by people of all genders
  • Product decisions are reviewed for unintended bias in language, defaults, and data presentation

Measures against gender-based violence including sexual harassment

  • Zero-tolerance policy for harassment of any kind
  • Clear reporting mechanism to be established as the team grows (currently a two-person founding team)
  • External confidential advisor will be appointed when team size exceeds five

Monitoring and reporting

  • This plan will be reviewed annually and updated as the organization grows
  • Gender-disaggregated data will be collected on hiring, pay, and leadership as the team scales
  • Progress will be reported publicly in our annual impact communications
