A cuppa with Margaret Wood of VMG Associates

In this episode of Yorkshire Business Podcast, Margaret Wood from VMG Associates joins us, to challenge the reductive thinking that often hinders businesses from solving their most pressing problems, including the growing skills gaps. From gender inequality to ageism, there are countless barriers that employers face, barriers that are often self-imposed due to outdated perceptions of what work should look like.Our host Chloe, explores how businesses are inadvertently limiting their own potential by sticking to rigid structures that exclude a large portion of the workforce. Whether it’s not embracing flexible working, not creating pathways for women to progress into senior roles, or failing to support an age-diverse workforce, these issues directly affect a company’s ability to be productive and innovative.This is a must listen for business owners, leaders, and HR practitioners alike. Tune in and listen to Chloe and Margaret discuss how breaking down these barriers, whether gender, age, or work structure, can unlock a world of untapped potential, improving productivity and long-term success.Connect with Margaret on LinkedIn here.
