APSMA Singapore: Breaking Down Gender Bias in Professional Services – Myths and Facts

In many professional services organisations, women and men enter in equal numbers. But in more senior roles and in the partnerships, there are usually more men. In this session, we will explore the business case for gender balance and present the latest research on the experiences of women in the workplace.

We will consider some of the common assumptions about women and men at work and share the evidence relating to the key blocks to women’s progression.

Jean Balfour will then provide practical approaches to helping women and men to progress in their careers and focus in particular on career planning and how to raise your profile at work.
