A company can only thrive once its workforce truly embraces
gender equality. Good corporate governance is the responsibility
of leadership, and we should all work to strengthen the alliance
between men and women in the workplace. Through inclusion
and gender equity, we can become the kinds of change makers
that redefine the narratives around success in business, for men
and women.
As a woman and HR leader, I’m passionate about a truly inclusive
culture, one that leverages every individual’s background, passions,
and innovative ideas, and promotes employee engagement,
empowerment and authenticity. The fact that women are still not
valued equally in the workplace is a global and cultural problem.
As a black woman in a position to make a difference, I’m dedicated
to dismantling the narrow thinking that leads to inequities in pay
and professional advancement.
Hiring and promoting women in all fields brings a tremendous
talent pool of resourceful and industrious leaders to the workforce,
and our unique perspectives and insights lead to better decision
making. The quickest solution to fix the lack of women in leadership
roles is to hire women in leadership roles. Period.
