It’s well known that research shows gender-balanced, diverse workforces and leadership deliver better performance, more economic growth and a more effective political and business agenda.
In 2015, the United Nations committed to focus on gender equality, and set the ambitious target of achieving equality by 2030. Seven years later, large gender gaps remain, and there have been some suggestions that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a regressive effect on gender equality.
Throughout the day a host of prominent leaders including Alison Rose, CEO at Natwest, Lord Mark Price CVO, CMI President, Pinky Lilani CBE DL(acclaimed international champion for women), Kate Thornton (journalist and TV presenter) and many others will join CMI CEO Ann Francke OBE and CMI Women Chair Heather Melville OBE to answer these questions and give you the opportunity to share your own experiences and thoughts in our interactive workshops.
This is a not to be missed opportunity to really explore how women, men and organisations can work together and break down the barriers to gender equality.
