Why are we still waiting for a fair playing field?
-
- Fact: On average, women still earn less than men for the same work. The UN estimates it will take 257 years to close the global gender pay gap.
- Fact: Women are underrepresented in decision-making and leadership positions across industries.
- Fact: Many women experience harassment and discrimination in the workplace based on their gender.
Description
Join us this International Women’s Day for a transformative, thought-provoking Catalyst Conversation that challenges the prevailing myth that work on gender equity in the workplace is no longer an urgent priority.
Event Highlights
During our virtual Catalyst Conversation, we will look at the status of gender equity in Europe and globally to peel back the progress, identify persistent gaps and shed light on the systemic issues that continue to demand our immediate collective action.
In a panel discussion, we will hear from trailblazing organisations that are working towards equitable workplaces for everyone and learn from their successes, ongoing challenges, and practical strategies.
Why Attend
Organisations that prioritise gender equity are more likely to attract and retain top talent. Among employees aged 18–24, 56% hesitate to accept a job offer from an organisation lacking a diverse leadership team. Women are particularly drawn to organisations that exhibit fairness through high representation in top management positions. By promoting gender equity, organisations contribute to building a fair and just society with benefits extending beyond the workplace.
