Designing the bias out of the workplace

Not-so-fun fact: At the rate we’re going, it will take another 268 years to close the economic gender gap globally, according to the World Economic Forum. That means the world will only see gender equality at an economic level in the year 2290.

I don’t know about you, but I find that statistic shocking. My great-grandchildren wouldn’t be alive in 268 years, and the thought of inequality persisting for even longer than it already has doesn’t sit right with me.

Clearly, we need to take steps to address this inequality. And when it comes to the economic gap, what better place to start than our workplaces?

As part of Tech in Asia’s International Women’s Day campaign, our COO Maria Li sat down with Godelieve Van Dooren, CEO at Mercer Southeast Asia, and Ayesha Khanna, CEO of Addo AI and founder of 21C Girls, to take a closer look at what companies can do to close the gaps women face in the workplace in terms of leadership, hiring and promotion, and pay.

Check out How to design gender bias out of leadership, the first episode of a three-part series, here.
