MARC by Catalyst

MARC by Catalyst

Men Advocating Real Change, or MARC, is a line of research and a multi-faceted suite of transformational trainings designed to invite employees at all levels, of all genders—especially men—to co-create an equitable workplace and community.

How are we different?

Unlike traditional DEI approaches, MARC addresses the root causes of gender inequity. Supporter organizations can use MARC to improve culture with a suite of engaging learning programs and interventions designed for each associate level.

DEI, HR and Change Management leaders use MARC to accelerate their DEI efforts, uncover gender equity gaps, and inspire and equip employees to take a collaborative approach to workplace gender equity.

 

Transform your workplace culture.

Over 10k+ people, of all genders, across 30+ countries have told us MARC programs
have helped them advocate for equity and inclusion.

31%

of men feel confident interrupting sexist behaviors in the workplace before MARC.

74%

of MARC alums are more likely to interrupt sexism at work.

88%

Programming for employees at all levels.

There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to gender equity. Our impactful programming disrupts traditional DEI approaches by inviting employees at every level to collaborate on solutions to gender and inclusive workplace challenges.
