Focusing on one of the most challenging of the WISE Ten Steps, Educate Your Leaders: give them accountability for change will present best practices on how organisations have ensured commitment, engagement and authenticity from their leaders to address gender imbalance.

McKinsey will share information on their latest Diversity Report, and insights into what is necessary for change to happen. In addition, WISE members, including Intel and Atkins, will deliver best practices around leadership engagement and the impact on their organisations.

There will also be a chance to network and collaborate on this topic with fellow HR, I&D and STEM colleagues.
