International Women’s Day Webinar

Date:10/03/2022 4:30 pm
Location:Online

As part of our three-day International Women’s Day activities for 2022, this panel discussion will review the biases creating barriers for professional women in today’s society.

These can be summarised in four main areas, which will each be covered in the discussion and Q&A for audience participation:

  • Physical barriers, such as design influences that devalue female needs
  • Financial barriers, such as masculine perceptions of “breadwinners”
  • Mental barriers, such as enabling women to have a respected voice, and imposter syndrome
  • Educational barriers, such as laying the right foundations for future generations and changing workforce perceptions

With thanks to our Official Diversity & Inclusion Partner, Barclays​, and Supporting Partners for our International Women’s Day events this year, St. James’s Place Wealth Management​Mercer​, Swire Shipping​ and NatWest Markets.​
