How organizations can actively support women on their path to leadership

International Women’s Day (IWD) is an important global celebration of women’s achievements and is an opportunity to highlight what needs to be done to close the gender gap. At EY, we believe that gender equality is the key to unlocking business growth and helping societies to thrive.

To underpin EY ambition to inspire and accelerate gender equality and social equity in the working world, the EY Advanced Manufacturing & Mobility (AM&M) Industry Market has established the AM&M Women’s Network. The main goal of this network is to support top female talent on their path to achieving their career goals, as well as learning about and removing any barriers that prevent them from having equal opportunities in the firm.

Key takeaways:

• Increasing the number of women in leadership roles is a top priority for the EY AM&M Industry Market.
• To contribute to the collective effort toward impactful change on gender equality, organizations should promote women’s achievements, challenge gender stereotypes and biases, introduce policies that support women’s careers and advocate for equal pay.
• Now is the time to go further and faster in accelerating gender equality and making sure #SheBelongs.
