Supporting women in the progression of their careers is important to us at Lawrence Stephens. We are proud to have established a Gender Equality Network (GEN) to drive equality initiatives forward. In its first year, GEN has developed a toolkit of supporting resources, held a panel event to explore allyship, arranged the provision of sanitary protection in the loos in our building and invited speakers to discuss topics from effective communication to hormone health.
With International Women’s Day approaching, we decided to widen the conversation to mark GEN’s first anniversary. Over the last few weeks several members of the GEN committee and the wider firm were interviewed on the topic of equality in the workplace. Many interesting insights were shared, including the things we would say to our younger selves and what we would like to see change in the next decade. We put them together in a short film which was premiered at our International Women’s Day party yesterday. We look forward to sharing a shorter version of this video with you soon. We hope you enjoy watching it and that some of our insights resonate with you.
This International Women’s Day we celebrate our brilliant female colleagues and our wonderful male allies with whom we continue our efforts to move towards greater equality at work and in society.
Who inspires you to use your voice to strive for greater equality?
