Bonus Difference Makers Discuss 3 - Inclusion for women at work - Dr Caroline McGroary

More than 1,700 people from over 60 countries registered to attend  the first episode of a new series from Chartered Accountants Worldwide, ‘Difference Makers Discuss…’The first episode was ‘Difference Makers Discuss… The Value of Diversity’ and included a dynamic group of speakers with expertise in chartered accountancy, strategic leadership, entrepreneurship, and academic research.In this podcast, Dr Caroline McGroary talks about a variety of topics around gender discrimination.  Caroline worked  in Saudi Arabia at the Princess Norah University where she got the opportunity to educate women in a country which has historically ranked quite low in the global gender equality rankings.  She developed a financial literacy initiative in response to recent statistics which reported that one of the contributory factors to gender inequality in Saudi Arabia was the low financial literacy levels of Saudi women.  These initiatives not only directly impacted on the lives of our students, but also empowered them to bring this knowledge outside the classroom and drive change in their local communities.Caroline goes on to talk about tackling the gender pay gap and making women feel rewarded and included in organisations.  She makes the point that diversity is not inclusion and that whilst there has been a lot of attention on diversity, which is good, there also needs to be an equal focus on inclusion.
