What we have learnt so far
1. Women don’t always choose to
stay at home or give up their career.
Employers need to do more to help women maintain their careers.
2. Unconscious bias comes in many
forms and holds us all back.
Diversity of thought and diversity of perspective.
3. Childcare and Flexible working
isnt a Womens issue its a Parenting Issue.
Culture of agile working
4. Its not enough to say I employ the
best person for the job.
If you do not intentionally include, you unintentionally exclude.
5. Lack of Empathy is a key factor
in driving the gender divide.
Be inclusive in your conversation and behavior.
6. There is a Gender pay gap and a
Gender equality gap in our industry.
Men and women to learn from each other when it comes to Negotiating.
7. Create an environment where
women can thrive.
If you create trust and support in the workplace you get better results.
.
8. A male, pale and stale
management team acts as a barrier to diverse talent.
Send a message about the inclusivity of the environment you work in.
9. Remove convention for how
talent enters our industry
New ideas won’t come from everyone hiring the same people
from the same places.
10. How can we involve more men in
the diversity discussion?
Just ask them! We need allies.
