Dive In Festival: Leaders challenge why industries are 'reluctant to accord authority to women'
Leading the panel discussion on ‘The Authority Gap’ on Tuesday, Mary Ann Sieghart, author and former assistant editor, contested that “we have all grown up in a society in which men are still in charge” and presented the industry with opportunities to change the gender bias in the workplace.
Sieghart explained that there is still a huge stigma on gender in the workplace across many industries, and organisations can do more to tackle this gender bias, helping women reach the top.
