EVENT OVERVIEW
In June CEDA released a comprehensive research report on Women in Leadership, drawing on more than three years of national discussion forums, together with papers by leading commentators and the results of a business survey.
The report, titled Understanding the gender gap examined a range of policy, employee and social issues including unconscious bias, implications of the current tax and transfer system, the impact of societal expectations and culture on women's choices, and barriers women face to progression into leadership roles.
This CEDA forum will draw on the report's recommendations and examine why closing the gender gap must be a priority for businesses and governments if we are to maximise our workforces and improve productivity.
Join us to hear from two high-achieving women from two very different backgrounds, for what promises to be a thought-provoking and lively discussion.
