We strive for a future where the financial sector is as diverse and inclusive as our society at WIFS.

Gender inequality is a cultural and societal issue. While the introduction of a mandatory women's quota is a positive step, we at WIFS are not satisfied with that. We aim for a 50/50 balance.

By utilizing both masculine and feminine qualities in your business, whether you are a man or a woman, you create more balance. This ultimately leads to more diverse teams that make better-founded decisions and achieve demonstrably better business results. This balance is important for creating a healthy and sustainable financial sector.

WIFS is a community with a clear footprint in creating space for feminine values from an inclusive perspective. We strive to form a community of like-minded people who stand for more balance between the masculine and feminine in yourself, your team, your organization, and the sector.

Do you want to make an impact and help shape this transition?

To strengthen the WIFS organization, we are looking for new board members for WIFS.
