Building A Better Workplace For Women In The Food And Beverage Industry

With us today is Angela Dodd, founder of Females in Food. Angela created the Females in Food Community to help women in the food and beverage industry advance their careers.  Consider this: 80% of food buying decisions globally are made by women, yet, across every segment of the food and beverage industry, fewer than 20% of senior leadership positions are held by women.   We talk about that statistic and much more in today’s episode. We address issues about why women are under-represented, what companies and male allies can do to help reach gender parity, and whether Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs are actually working.  Read the transcript of this episode  Influential Women in Food Be sure to visit the Food Processing website to learn more about the Influential Women in Food program. If you know a woman – or women – that are making an impact in the food and beverage industry, be sure to nominate them for this prestigious award. But act fast, we’ll be closing nominations on March 1.
