Shift 2

Diversity& minority

programmes

Inclusion & diversity, changing the system &engaging the majority

Network groups emerge to support ‘like’ individuals. White women’s programmes lead the diversity agenda

LGBT captivates major media through legal battles around the world & allies programmes emerge to engage the majority

Organisations begin to paint the future image of a modern workplace – which is exciting and relevant for all

What’s in it for me? This is why feminism is good for men.

LGBT, Race, Culture, Age, Ability gain momentum and in some cases overtake in terms of progress

Shift 3

‘In’ ‘Out’-- in behaviour, culture, style and thought process

Minority groups assimilate to be accepted. E.g. Women who rise to the top show traditional masculine traits

LGBT learnings - Out is not one moment, but a continuous decision to be yourself

Recruiting, performance and promotion & even values systems are expanded and adapted rather than the individual

Out begins to be applied to Race, Disability, Working Patterns. Slowly at first, but with growing pace.

3 reasons why these shifts matter in achieving balanced gender recruiting, progression and retention.

Women are often more socially conscious in

choosing an employer – their judgement goes

beyond role, salary, title & gender

Organisations making system adjustments are

more likely to see balanced results in promotions, and in senior leadership

Women have more options in terms of

acceptable career paths and lifestyles and will

choose to exercise those options
