Why the world is still not built for women | Virginia Santy

from TED Business

Design consultant Virginia Santy set out to create an office space built specifically for women, flipping the script on the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways that workplaces and cities still fail them. The results were striking: greater productivity, deeper collaboration and an environment where women felt genuinely valued, leading her to ask a simple question: What would the world look like if we designed with women in mind? After the talk, Modupe shares what managers and male coworkers can do to help improve the workplace environment for their female colleagues. Hosted on Acast.
