Sport has always had the power to inspire, connect, and change lives — but it also reveals the cracks in our systems. One of the most persistent issues for women in sport is the misconception that equality is enough. Spoiler: it isn’t. 🎯 Equality vs Equity — What’s the Difference? In sport, equality might look […]
We all like to believe we’re fair and objective – especially at work. But the reality is that everyone has biases, many of which operate under the surface. These unconscious biases influence how we perceive others, make decisions, and shape workplace culture – often without us realising. In the context of gender equity, unconscious bias […]
Many organisations acknowledge the gender pay gap, but struggle to take meaningful action. While 89% of companies track pay equity, only 50% take proactive steps to close the gap (Mercer, 2023). At Netwomen, we help organisations go beyond awareness by implementing inclusive leadership programs, pay transparency policies, and structured career development initiatives. Common Roadblocks to […]
Despite progress in workplace equality, the gender pay gap persists, with women earning 20% less than men for the same roles globally (World Economic Forum, 2023). One of the biggest drivers of this gap is the lack of women in leadership positions. At Netwomen, we believe that the key to closing the gender pay gap […]
Despite progress in gender diversity, the leadership pipeline remains broken for women in many industries. Women make up a significant portion of the workforce, yet they remain underrepresented in decision-making roles. The barriers they face are systemic, ranging from unconscious bias to a lack of mentorship and sponsorship opportunities. Addressing this imbalance isn’t just about […]

International Women’s Day on 8th March is a moment to celebrate progress, and this year’s theme – Accelerate Action – reminds us that real change requires more than conversation.

The gender pay gap isn’t just about salaries- it’s about the total compensation and opportunities women receive compared to their male counterparts. While salary increases are essential, benefits play a crucial role in creating true pay equity. According to the Fawcett Society, women in the UK still earn 14.3% less than men on average. But […]
Leadership isn’t just about making decisions at the top – it’s about shaping workplace culture, fostering innovation, and ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Yet, too often, leadership teams lack diversity, and businesses miss out on the benefits of inclusive leadership. According to McKinsey, companies with more ethnically diverse leadership teams are 36% […]
The gender pay gap remains a critical issue, but it’s only one part of a larger, more complex story. When factors like race, disability, and other identities intersect with gender, the disparities become even more pronounced. For women in business, particularly those in leadership roles, understanding and addressing these overlapping inequities is crucial for fostering […]
