more
On the 25th November, during our ‘Women & Safety: Home, Travel, Abroad’ in partnership with Girls on Travel webinar, we will discuss the place of violence and safety for women at home, on the road and abroad. A confident business woman might still face concerns when travelling, or have a situation at home they are not talking about. And the society you are visiting, might have different social norms and culture to yours.
We will be joined by expert speakers discussing their experience, both personal and professional, at home, during travel and exploration. We will also talk about what abuse is, and how it may manifest both verbally and physically. We will provide information about charities and organisations to contact for support.
During this pandemic, UN Women has alerted countries worldwide that the violence against women has been on the rise, causing a widespread shadow pandemic, affecting girls and women worldwide. We wish to raise awareness and come together as a group to share the knowledge we have.
The UN System’s 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence activities, from 25 November to 10 December, will take place under UN Women 2020 global theme: “Orange the World: Fund, Respond, Prevent, Collect!”
“As the world retreated inside homes due to the lockdown measures introduced to curb the COVID-19 pandemic, reports showed an alarming increase in the already existing pandemic of violence against women.”
The 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence is an annual international campaign that kicks off on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and runs until 10 December, Human Rights Day.

The session will cover Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, and also go into the ‘less popular’ social platforms which, actually, generate more organic traffic and conversions to linked websites than people think. We will also go over the best type of content to feature on social feeds, how to go about interacting with employers/employees you want to impress, and how to stand out as a strong candidate (if looking for a job), or client (if self-employed).

01dec12:0013:00CMI Women: Balanced Recruitment with Kate Grussing
Join us to find out about the top tips for managers recruiting virtually
more
Most managers consider their recruitment practices to be fair but CMI research (2018) suggests that many businesses have not adopted recognised practices for ensuring a fair and gender-balanced recruitment process. As the first step in the employment cycle, recruitment is critically important for employers aiming at a gender-balanced workforce.
Recently, CMI published a new, practical guide: Moving the Dial on Race. It combines personal stories from the CMI community with steps proven to significantly improve workplace inclusion. One of the six steps we ask of all managers includes re-examining recruitment and promotion processes to ensure they are free from unconscious bias and that shortlists are balanced.
In this webinar, Kate Grussing CMgr CCMI, Managing Director, Sapphire Partners, will discuss ways of supporting managers to focus on inclusive recruitment amid the current Covid crisis and also ways in which organisations can attract and recruit more diverse talent.
