Expert Voices – What will it take for women to be heard in the workplace?

Welcome to Digestible Academia, a BlueSky Thinking podcast where we break down complex academic research into something more digestible.

 

In this episode, in recognition of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month in the UK we’re continuing our exploration into diversity, equality and inclusion.

 

This week, we are joined by Jackie Ford, a Professor of Leadership and Organisation Studies at Durham University Business School. Jackie’s research covers leadership, gender and organisation theory, exploring working lives, the impact of DEI, and the under-representation of women as leaders.

 

We asked Jackie why, after many years of board quotas and other pro-women efforts, women still do not hold equal footing in the majority of workplaces, and how companies can navigate this.
