Lead the Change: Why Men Matter in Inclusion
Join us for an honest, thought-provoking panel conversation with men and women sharing real experiences of allyship, workplace change, and the barriers that still exist. Expect practical insights, candid discussion, and space for your questions – whether you’re sceptical, curious, or ready to act.
Gender equity isn’t a ‘women’s issue’ and it isn’t something for women to tackle alone. When men are involved, progress is accelerated because we often hold the positions and influence to make change happen. For ourselves as well as for others.
Whether you want to work in solidarity alongside your female coworkers to change an unfair system, or you want to take on issues that affect men at work – from paternity leave to career stereotypes – we’re calling on you to get active.
As some 80% of leaders and 60% of line managers, men are brilliantly poised to make change happen in their workplaces. If you’re curious about how to get involved in inclusion as a man, or whether you ‘can’ or ‘should’, this event is for you.
