Leadership is not just about decision making, it is also about communication and having your voice heard.

New maternity leave protections: addressing gaps in the legal system

In theory English employment law provides women on maternity leave with very strong protection. Once a woman notifies her employer that she is pregnant, the “protected period” applies giving her enhanced protection from redundancy. This remains in effect until her maternity leave ends. Should a redundancy situation arise during the protected period, then the mother must be offered a suitable alternative role - notably, in preference to any other comparable employee. Such preferential treatment is one of the rare examples in English law where positive discrimination is not only permitted, but mandatory.

Men Stepping Forward – How men can become change makers for diversity and inclusion in organisations

Why is it that despite the best efforts of organisations to encourage diversity and inclusion, and all the resources spent on women’s leadership and training, there are still so few women at the very top of organisations?
