Murray Edwards College is the venue for an important conference which will explore the issue of gender inequality at work and create a strategy to tackle this high profile issue.
The Cambridgeshire Chambers of Commerce event is being hosted by Murray Edwards College on Friday 14th September (10.00am-1.30pm) at which the findings and recommendations of some new research undertaken by the College will be revealed.
Open to all, the event will provide a focus on how men and women can work together to champion change in the area of workplace gender inequality which remains a challenge in many organisations.
The programme will comprise the benefits of more inclusive cultures; understanding women’s (and some men’s) issues with workplace culture; looking at individual interventions to tackle gender bias behaviour; building closer relations between men and women; and action points for leaders to model gender-inclusive behaviour and communicate the benefits.
Speakers include: Fiona Duffy, Director of Development, Murray Edwards College;
Qun Yang, Co-founder of Biorbyt Ltd and Executive Director of Wo+Men’s Leadership Centre, Cambridge Judge Business School; Anne Bailey, Co-founder, Form the Future CIC; and Sarah Howard, Vice President of the British Chambers of Commerce who will deliver the keynote address at the beginning of the event.
