Agenda + Schedule
Gender equality and the Law
While we hear a great deal about the quest for workplace gender equality, to what extent are its views and tenets inscribed in local law? How are these laws actually enforceable? What do individuals do when their company blatantly flouts its legal obligations?
Transforming company performance
When a business has indeed adopted a level playing-field for the advancement of women professionals, what does it stand to gain in terms of solid, actual performance? We look at case studies proving the importance of women in critical, senior decision-making roles.
Lobbying organisational change
When a business is reluctant to change – or simply not aware of its prejudices – lobbying for reform can be a difficult and arduous process, and even risk jeopardising career progress. But there are cogent, clear steps to take, and here we explain the conversations that work without the fear of alienating senior management.
Inclusiveness for People of Determination
A reluctance to interview and recruit People of Determination means ignoring a huge talent pool of suitable candidates for any number of roles. What are the procedures that can best be used for effective outreach to People of Determination? How to combat any aspects of engrained prejudice and seamlessly integrate this talent into the workplace?
