Join us to celebrate International Women’s Day 2025 and discuss the steps employers can take to ‘Accelerate Action’

This is an online event.

Audience

This event is open to both members and non-members of Business in the Community (BITC) and has been designed for HR people/Talent management practitioners/managers.

About the event

At the current rate of progress, it will take until 2158, roughly five generations from now, to reach full gender parity. But how can employers seek to address, let alone close this gap, when faced with the most difficult operating environment in recent history?

Our panel of distinguished speakers will share insights on overcoming the structural barriers to gender equality, addressing future developments such as artificial intelligence, automation and generational differences, and evolving sustainable, positive impacts on gender inclusion at work.

Join this event to understand:

• Effective action you can take to address gender inequality at work
• The benefits greater gender equity brings to your workplace
• The emerging risks to equality that employers need to be aware of for organisational future-proofing
• How to navigate difficult circumstances to keep progressing toward your gender equality goals

Please join us for this enlightening event and contribute to a dynamic discussion on advancing gender equality.
