Avivah Wittenberg-Cox {Part 1} – Gender Balance at Work: How to Convince Senior Leaders Who Don’t Care About Gender Equality to Take Action to Support Parents

This week on Leaders With Babies, Verena is joined by the author and acclaimed speaker Avivah Wittenberg-Cox to discuss influencing senior leaders on gender equality at work.Avivah is the CEO of 20-first, a leading global gender-balance consultancy that works with multi-national firms on modern leadership approaches, supporting them to be more gender-balanced.With so many important discussion points it was impossible to cut the conversation and not lose any of the brilliant insight, so instead, we have split it into two parts. In part one, you'll hear Avivah's freshest thinking on the best way to convince senior leaders who don't care about gender equality to take action today and support parents.Including the best way to engage those colleagues who are least interested in gender equality at work, the most powerful arguments to use for why this really matters, and why data is always a girl's best friend.
