155: The case for gender equity

Steve Davis

8 years ago

Dr Gemma Munro, Inkling Women, talks gender equity with Steve Davis and Michael Shanahan on The Adelaide Show Podcast

What does gender equity mean to you? It should mean money. For example, if you work for or run an organisation, do you know what percentage of your leadership team needs to be female for you to boost your financial performance and improve employee productivity and engagement? It is not 100 per cent. Nor is it 75 per cent. Nor is it 50 per cent. According to research, the critical threshold is just 30 per cent. To understand what that means and to get an update on our progress towards closing the gender gap throughout society, we have turned to Dr Gemma Munro, CEO and founder of Inkling Women.

We discuss

Executive level gender gap
Gender gaps at home
Leadership styles
Boobs
Pay rate discrimination
Julia Gillard misogyny speech
Former Saatchi and Saatchi boss Kevin Roberts
Person, Partner, Parent
Singing with the Rolling Stones
Breaking negative self-talk
