Dr. Sue Shortland offers key insights from her speech at the recent Think Global Women event in celebration of International Women’s Day. She discusses Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), focusing on workplace equity and the challenges women face, such as horizontal segregation and limited career progression. Sue emphasises the importance of creating a level playing field for women through employer support, particularly in Europe and the UK, where the focus is on equity rather than just diversity statistics.
