Women don’t need to be celebrated. We need the gender pay gap to close. We need medical research dollars spent on women’s health issues. We need to be championed in the workplace. We need access to health care and autonomy in health care decisions. Today on social media, we’ll see a circus of performative posts by organizations that are doing nothing meaningful, impactful or helpful. That a comms team was tasked with coming up with. If you lead women, maybe today could be better spent learning more about their experiences in the workplace. Here’s an article I came across a couple weeks ago:

There are legions of professional women who step off the career fast track at least once to raise children, care for elderly parents, or manage other demands. But when they’re ready to step back on track – just a short time later – they hit a wall. Women in PR distributed a survey, asking about our members careers and if they have taken any non-linear career paths. Find on our blog what survey data demonstrated: https://lnkd.in/gfrqgazB #lifeblance #womenbusinessowners #womeninpr #publicrelations #pragency #digitalnetworking #publicrelations

Truth bomb: Good performance reviews don't always lead to #promotions for women due to a combination of factors. These include lower visibility and fewer advocacy opportunities within organisations, societal biases against women who assert themselves or self-promote, and unconscious biases that influence how achievements are recognised and valued. Additionally, women often face greater work-life balance challenges and have less access to influential networks, which are crucial for career advancement. This is where the RISE Accelerate program comes in - it's designed to help you gain more visibility, build strategic networks, and empower you with the skills to negotiate and advocate for your advancement effectively.
