According to the latest research:
- Only 19.7% of employees on company or organisational boards are women.
- In the UK, the employment rate in every ethnic group was higher for men than women.
- Hiring chances can increase up to 46% for women taking part in blind applications.
- Ethnic minority employees hold only 1 in 16 top management positions in the UK.
- Only 52 out of 1,099 of the most powerful jobs are held by ethnic minority individuals.
Creating inclusive workspaces where everyone can thrive is a shared responsibility. While there is often a focus on what women can do to promote equality in the workplace, it is equally important to acknowledge the role men can play in this endeavor. Men have the power to be allies, advocates, and catalysts for change in creating inclusive workspaces.
In this webinar, a panel of executive coaches explored specific actions that men can take to contribute to a more inclusive work environment where all employees can thrive.
We explore:
- The role of men in a gender equal workplace
- What male allyship looks like in practice
- How men and women can better work together to accelerate progress
- Specific allyship action inside and outside of the workplace
By understanding the challenges faced by underrepresented groups and actively working towards equity, men can help build a workplace that is supportive, empowering, and inclusive for all.
