PROMOTIONAL RESEARCH
Gender equality has been catapulted to the fore in the past 12 months with the introduction of gender pay gap regulations and the #MeToo movement.
Against this backdrop, there has never been a more pressing time for retailers to reassess their company culture and approach to diversity and inclusion.
Be Inspired’s inaugural report, How to build a female leader, in association with employee engagement company Speakap, uncovers how businesses are creating a culture that allows women to thrive.
Retailers are tackling the challenge of digital transformation and fighting for market share, which makes it easy to lose momentum on tackling inclusion, but effecting real change is not as time-consuming or expensive as it might sound.
How to develop talent
Our report focuses on practical ways for retailers to develop their pools of female talent, highlighting the policies and behaviours that have been proven to influence advancement and effect change.
Including an exclusive interview with Card Factory boss Karen Hubbard, one of retail’s few female chief executives, and feedback directly from the retail workforce, this report will show that building a workplace that attracts and retains female talent doesn’t require a large budget.
