WorkPride 2023: Women and Non-Binary People in the Workplace: Lessons in Inclusion

Historically, men have dominated workplaces within a patriarchal system. As gender diversity in the workplace grows, and more and more barriers are removed, the business case to ensure that your workplace is inclusive of all genders grows. Join us as we speak to a diverse range of people who have overcome gender-bias within the workplace, and how their workplaces have benefited from ensuring that everyone has the ability to succeed regardless of their gender.
