In this episode I speak with Sinead Hourigan and Troy Roderick about how we should aim to tackle gender diversity in the workplace. And we’re not going to sugarcoat it. This is a topic that’s been discussed and argued over for decades, yet progress in many areas remains stubbornly slow: 

• A quick glance at remuneration data shows numerous companies and industries still have a gender pay gap.
• Glance at the newspaper, and we still see headlines about sexual harassment in Australian & New Zealand workplaces. 
• Or take a glance at executive tables: In Top ASX 200 companies, there are still more CEOs named John than there are female CEOs put together.

So, we need to talk. And we need to act. How? Well, that’s what we cover in this episode.
