After a turbulent 2020, this Gender Champions’ Forum will focus on horizon scanning for the year ahead and give Business in the Community (BITC) champion members a preview of BITC’s Gender Equality Roadmap which will be released in March.

About the webinar
Key themes for women at work in 2021 will be discussed amongst peers in breakout groups. If there is a particular theme or problem you would like to focus on, then please let us know in advance so that we can build this into the design of the breakout groups.

If attendees would be interested in sharing some insight or a short case study at the session on the themes of making flexible or hybrid work during this period or supporting women’s health and wider wellbeing at this time, please get in touch with Ellie Jefford, Events Coordinator at BITC.

Background
Achieving a truly gender-balanced workforce means employers must recruit and progress the best talent – irrespective of gender. The commercial imperative for realising women’s potential in the workplace is clear: gender equality enhances employee engagement, boosts productivity, meets the diverse needs of customers and suppliers, and improves brand reputation.
