A company can only thrive once its workforce truly embraces gender equality. Good corporate governance is the responsibility of leadership, and we should all work to strengthen the alliance between men and women in the workplace. Through inclusion and gender equity, we can become the kinds of change makers that redefine the narratives around success in business, for men and women. As a woman and HR leader, I’m passionate about a truly inclusive culture, one that leverages every individual’s background, passions, and innovative ideas, and promotes employee engagement, empowerment and authenticity. The fact that women are still not valued equally in the workplace is a global and cultural problem. As a black woman in a position to make a difference, I’m dedicated to dismantling the narrow thinking that leads to inequities in pay and professional advancement. Hiring and promoting women in all fields brings a tremendous talent pool of resourceful and industrious leaders to the workforce, and our unique perspectives and insights lead to better decision making. The quickest solution to fix the lack of women in leadership roles is to hire women in leadership roles. Period.
