HCG is pleased to invite you to a complimentary webinar on enhancing gender diversity by looking beyond women. For too long, we have talked about ‘women’s empowerment’ and ‘taking charge’ and ‘leaning in’ – placing the onus of change primarily on women. Such a simplistic view contradicts the evidence which points to a problem that is multi-faceted and multi-level. In this webinar, Dr. Aarti Shyamsunder will address the common misconceptions about what holds women back at work. She will present research findings on gender-related myths and misconceptions. The audience will gain awareness and actionable advice on the key systemic elements that must be in place to achieve gender diversity. 

​Benefits

• Question currently held assumptions about the role of women in enhancing gender diversity at work
• Understand the systemic barriers to inclusion and diversity plaguing efforts to drive sustained improvements
• Gain awareness of a systemic framework delineating actions required of individuals, leaders, and organizations to drive improvements in gender inclusion and diversity
