Your Shape Talent LinkedIn Newsletter - February Edition
As we build momentum towards International Women’s Day in March, we’re reflecting on the important emphasis the UN theme places on ‘ALL’ women. This month we’re sharing powerful insights from our latest Intersectionality eBook, shining a light on the systemic barriers faced by women of colour in leadership in our latest blog, and bringing you thought-provoking conversations with some of the leading voices in gender equity.???
Here’s what’s in store :???
Despite decades of progress in gender equity, women of colour remain disproportionally underrepresented in senior leadership roles. This is not due to a lack of ambition or talent, but because workplace systems continue to reinforce exclusionary practices. From biased performance and leadership practices, to the compounded hardship of navigating both racism and sexism, too many organisations fail to create truly inclusive leadership pipelines for women of colour.? Read or listen to the blog here and learn what you and your organisation can do to drive sustainable, systemic change.? ?
Catch up on our January LinkedIn Live session: ‘Beyond representation: Designing workplace systems through the lens of Intersectionality’. Our expert panel unpacked why understanding the interplay of race, gender, disability, and other identities is essential for building equitable workplaces. If you refer to listen to your insights on the go, why not tune in to our podcast on the topic.? ?
