Our research examined the gender segment of organisational culture at a local municipality. In the present study we analyse results from focus group discussions with employees at a municipality. In the analysis we discuss what characteristics gender culture has in an organisation where the majority of executives and employees are women. In case of such a gender composition, is organisational culture supportive of women? What characteristics do our research subjects attribute to women and men in general, and to their male and female colleagues? What do they think of the fact that the organisation has a female majority and how do they judge the issue of equal opportunity? The focus groups enabled us to provide a 'rich' and deep description of the examined aspects.
