Equity tactics that resonate year-round
Gender equity is not a moment — it’s a movement. While Women’s History Month sparks vital conversations, true progress demands daily commitment.
In this impactful session, we reimagine what it means to build environments where women don’t just survive, but lead, innovate, and redefine success.
This webinar goes beyond policies on paper. We’ll explore how to dismantle invisible barriers that hold women back — from quiet biases in promotions to unspoken penalties for caregiving and gaps in trust that silence voices. Ideal for Executives, HR leaders, People & Culture Managers, DEI practitioners, and Everyday Advocates committed to championing women’s advancement in the workplace.
Featured topics
- Introduction: Why equity efforts must outlast Women’s History Month
- Business case for gender equity: Data-driven insights linking equity to innovation, retention, & workplace success
- Workplace barriers unveiled: Root causes of systemic inequities (e.g., caregiving penalties, promotion bias) that hinder progress
- Breaking barriers, building momentum: Tactics to embed equity into daily operations (e.g., flexible policies, allyship training)
- Equity tactics that resonate year-round: Strategies to sustain progress beyond awareness months
