This week, Business in the Community's Sustainability Director, Dr Alan Knight, outlined our 'big idea' for how we can support business to address this '9 billion challenge'.

UK organisations doing the most to progress women in the workplace were celebrated last night at the annual Opportunity Now Awards Dinner.  The European Commission estimates that gender equality in the labour market has the potential to increase gross domestic product by 35%, making gender diversity and equality in the workplace a business imperative, not a women’s issue. Find out who won.

 

In addition The Times Top 50 Employers for Women is published today.
