Transform Your Workplace Podcast: Ensuring Gender Equity in the Workplace

In a world where organizations are striving to implement diversity, equity, and inclusion practices, this episode of Transform Your Workplace explores why it’s essential for leaders to acknowledge and address disparities when it comes to gender. Together with host Brandon Laws, we shed light on the fact that women are still leaving companies at alarming rates post-pandemic, primarily due to a lack of supportive workplace practices and policies after recruitment. Tune in and learn more about how you can provide adequate support to retain your top female talent.

How Workplace Practices That Support Women Benefit Everyone

Embracing gender equality and supporting women in the workplace is more than just a moral imperative—it’s a strategic necessity. Practices range from providing equal opportunities and promoting diversity to implementing robust maternity and return-to-work programs and weave a comprehensive picture that better equips companies to attract, retain, and advance female talent. Today we focus on understanding the urgent need for gender equality in the workplace, leveraging female talent through strategic policies, and the significance of advancing women into leadership roles for enhancing organizational culture.

#EmbraceEquity: International Women’s Day 2023

,

2023 is all about equity—the quality of being “fair.” This year’s International Women’s Day theme, #EmbraceEquity, encourages everyone to “do their part in creating a fair and equal world within their sphere of influence.” We believe that the process of equity can only truly begin once we’ve taken a look inward through the lens of equity. What biases have we internalized and how do they hold us back? How can we define our own unique needs and seek support to satisfy each one? From there, we are better equipped to model equity as a process and advocate for others through allyship. When we are first fair to ourselves, we can challenge inequities in our workplaces and beyond—breaking down bias and moving toward equal.
