What workplace leaders need to know about masculinity and gender equity in the workplace
In this episode, we dive into a crucial and timely topic – gender equity and masculinity in the workplace. We explore how workplaces can foster environments that challenge traditional notions of masculinity, while also promoting gender equity in a way that includes men as part of the solution, not just the conversation.Our guest Ludo Gabriele is a thought leader and consultant, based in New York, who helps organisations connect men to gender equity, effectively. His work centres on engaging men in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts, while addressing the common disconnects that can arise between men and these initiatives. An interesting discussion which will have you re-framing the way you think about masculinity, especially in the workplace and society as a whole.
