Chwarae Teg - About Us

Women and workplace innovation

With more than twenty years of experience, Chwarae Teg is the leading professional agency for the economic development of women in Wales.

We champion education, entrepreneurship, work-life balance and flexible working, helping women to overcome the obstacles that prevent them from making a full and consistent contribution within the economy.

However, Chwarae Teg isn't just about breaking down barriers. Listening to the needs of businesses and individuals, and forging effective links with partner organisations helps us to inspire innovative working practice:

  • At home and at work, women across Wales are aiming higher with advice from skilled and experienced Chwarae Teg staff.
  • Our practical flexible working and work-life balance support offers tangible benefits to any business, helping employers to maximise the potential of their most valuable asset - a talented and diverse workforce.
  • Our accessible training, workshop and consultancy events actively contribute to the success of individual women and the bottom-line results of employers.
  • By working with us, women can learn new skills, start new businesses, and increase their participation in senior management and high-level decision making.
  • We use pioneering research, current policy and best practice to generate financial and business rewards for employers.

And because building strong relationships is at the heart of Chwarae Teg, we develop inspirational partnerships with employers, influencing bodies and other organisations throughout Wales, the UK and Europe to ensure that the Welsh economy meets the demands of the 21st Century.

Chwarae Teg

Chwarae Teg is a well known expression in Wales that means "Fair Play". And while it's commonplace here we understand that not everyone will know what it means or how to pronounce it. In fact people from across different regions of Wales even pronounce it differently.
