Don’t mind the gap, mend it!
SHIMA: Aiming to mobilise BIMA members to ‘mend the gap’ and overcome gender and other equality gaps, creating inclusive workplaces and increase business performance for everyone.
To support women in business, digital and tech; BIMA is hosting an online conversation with its women members, those who identify as women, and women allies.
In this session, we’ll focus on the experiences of women without children.
Why consider this group?
We would like to spark the conversation to gain insight into the workplace experiences of women without children.
These are some of the issues we’ll be diplomatically discussing in relation to this complex topic.
We’ll aim to create a safe space for sharing relevant personal experiences and model ways to begin to have these conversations in the workplace.
What to expect:
In each Power Hour session you will get to make a meaningful connection with up to five fellow attendees.
You will be put into breakout rooms at random for one-to-one conversations that will last 20 minutes — enough time to develop rapport , brainstorm and improvise solutions in a quick-fire manner, and see if there is mutual interest to find out more.
Who is it for?
This event is open to BIMA and non-BIMA members referred by a BIMA member. Due to the sensitive nature of the discussion, it will operate with the strictest confidentiality and Chatham House Rules.
Hosted by Ann Longley, BIMA South and Something New Together, we look forward to seeing you there!
Please note: the Zoom waiting room will open at 10.50am so we can start promptly at 11.00am, unfortunately we cannot permit late entrants.
