Re inventing the workspace to unlock gender diversity potential

Day 2 // 11:20-12:05 // Odeon Re-inventing the workplace to unlock gender diversity potential Hosted by McKinsey & Company` A new report by McKinsey shows that closing the labour participation gap, addressing part time and unpaid work, would not only help capture an additional GDP in Western Europe but also allow more women to sit in top management positions. However, the prevailing “anytime” performance model in corporations remains a key barrier for women facing the “double burden” of unpaid work. What public policies are needed to address this issue? How do we evolve the performance and leadership models to build more diversity and inclusiveness? Can we reshape the underlying social norms, attitudes and mind-sets regarding work-life balance choices? How can companies help?
