How Laura is building a better working world

“I am passionate about driving social equity by helping diverse talent enter the workforce. Through my work with EY ecosystem partners, we are creating opportunities to upskill and reskill workers through a series of IT training programs. These are all designed to help individuals return to and thrive in the workforce.

As partner sponsor of the EY Reading Women’s Network, I have been able to convene diverse groups of women from across the workforce to share their passion for reading, as well as their hopes and strategies for change in the workplace.

I’m proud that my work has been instrumental in helping to diversify the talent pool and further amplifying women’s voices in the workplace. In partnership with the Alliance network, we are co-creating new solutions that enhance social equity, put humans at the centre and create a better working world through innovation with our ecosystem.”
