How can both women and men benefit from gender diversity?
3pm – 4pm14 May 2024
Online
A conversation with Vicky Messer at Picocom, Mark Gilmour at ConnectiviTree and Lesley Holt at UKTIN, hosted by Chris Lewis at Lewis Insight, and Monica Paolini at Senza Fili
Diversity benefits everyone—people, businesses and customers. How can we improve gender diversity in the workplace, in our daily work practices and in our environment to benefit both women and men? In this Inclusively conversation, in collaboration with UKTIN, we will have women and men compare their perspectives on how gender diversity plays out and how to create a work environment and career opportunities that fit everybody.
Chris Lewis and Monica Paolini will host this conversation with Lesley Holt at UKTIN, Marc Gilmour at ConnectiviTree, and Vicky Messer at Picocom, starting with three questions:
What is the impact of imbalanced workplaces?
What do women and men want? Is it different? How?
How can women and men jointly make the workplace more flexible and open to encourage women’s participation?
