My talk is about...

What is the intricate relationship between corporate practices and societal values? How do they impact gender equality? It is time to challenge traditional perspectives and assert that gender equality is a collective imperative that resonates with everyone. Throughout their careers, women face numerous barriers, rooted in biases that shape promotion, evaluations, and compensation structures, perpetuating a culture of inequality. Yet, there's hope. Companies can have a transformative power, capable of reshaping norms and dismantling biases. Businesses can be pioneers for change, driving both organisational success and societal advancement. Embracing gender equality isn't just good ethics—it's smart business with far-reaching implications.
