The Embrace Difference Council’s Gender Equity Workstream focuses on the importance of driving meaningful change in female representation.
Led by Stephanie Shedden from Pernod Ricard, the purpose of the Gender Equity Workstream is to advance gender equity by:
- Establishing a Gender Framework to ensure policies like flexible work arrangements and parental leave support equitable workplaces.
- Supporting the Inclusive Leadership Program to develop leaders who foster inclusive environments.
- Celebrating International Women's Day to highlight women's achievements and advocate for gender equality.
“As an industry, we should take pride in the proactive steps taken by member companies who have conducted their own pay gap analysis and went on to take actions to close those gaps. While there is still work to be done, the businesses driving initiatives to achieve gender equality should be commended.”
