What is Project DAWN?

The Diversity Audit for Workplace Needs (DAWN) is a digital easy-to-use platform that guides employers in systematically tracking workforce movement trends such as recruitment, promotion, retention, and attrition across different employee levels and identity groups. This was developed and built to provide companies with a complete, user-friendly platform for assessing and improving diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace.

About Us

The Employers Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP) is the leading voice of employers on labor, social, and economic policy in the country. Committed to building sustainable and inclusive workplaces, ECOP develops programs and tools that help enterprises adapt to changing workforce needs.

The Diversity Audit for Workplace Needs (DAWN) was developed by ECOP with support from the Confederation of Danish Industry (DI) through the project “Strengthening Bipartite Relations and Promoting Green, Inclusive, and Sustained Growth” under a second Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA2). DAWN helps organizations advance diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) by using a gender lens to review workplace policies, create equal opportunities, and ensure that leadership is accountable, representative, and inclusive in its decision-making.

As part of the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) framework, DAWN also places particular emphasis on the governance pillar by embedding gender-responsive policies and practices into organizational systems. Its results are presented in simple charts and dashboards that can be exported into reports, helping organizations make evidence-based decisions and monitor progress over time. The tool also contributes to sustainability and inclusive growth by aligning business practices with principles of equity and good governance.
