To go far, and break invisible ceilings, you need allyship. You can be the smartest, the strongest, the best in your field but be stuck. Having someone with influence in your corner is a massive game-changer. Have you had someone like that propelling you to new grounds? Applauding all those in position of power who advocate for fairness; even willing to stand their grounds and take bold actions. According to a McKinsey report, taking action now to advance gender equality could be valuable, adding $13 trillion to global GDP in 2030. Together we can change things for the better. We need more men to do and help do the right thing — just because they still hold most of the power positions. #Allyship #TogetherWeCan #Fairness #DEI #PayGap #GenderGap
And this is how it’s done 👏 Their refusal has allowed the women’s team to receive female counterparts to receive equal basic pay. A 15% decrease in the men’s team insurance coverage also allowed them to upgrade the women’s team coverage by 50%, as well as that of the Under-21 men’s team by more than 40%. This is the power we all have to advance equality, together 💪

EQUALITY, EQUALITY, EQUALITY This is a remarkable display of solidarity and commitment to gender equality, ensuring equal pay for both teams. This commendable decision sets an exemplary precedent in the sports world and serves as a powerful statement in support of gender equity. By recognizing the value and achievements of female athletes, Denmark players decision not only addresses the longstanding pay gap but also promotes a more inclusive and fair society. It highlights the importance of acknowledging and celebrating accomplishments regardless of gender, fostering a culture of mutual respect and understanding. This step towards equality encourages other industries to follow suit, emphasizing the importance of equal opportunities and compensation for everyone, regardless of their gender, ethnicity, or background. Ultimately, embracing fairness in all aspects of life contributes to building a better, more harmonious world for everyone. #DEI #EQUALITY #FAIRPAY #HUMANITY #FOOTBALL

Denmark’s men’s team is showing us that change is not as complicated as we may think. Sometimes (perhaps more than sometimes), change is brought about by making choices that have the power to shift the status quo! I have a few great friends who are stay-at-home working dads because it works for them as a family. They don’t feel less about themselves or resent their partners/spouses because social norms prescribe otherwise. Neither do they boast about how great/supportive they are of their spouses. They see that it is a collective responsibility. Kudos to all of you who are swimming against the tide of social norms to bring change for a much-needed social balance. 👏🏾 What are we doing within organizations to bring this balance? Do share, and we can all learn from each other! #organisationaldevelopment

🌟🇳🇴 Norway's gender equality is globally recognized, yet our journey is far from over. Even today, statistics reveal stark imbalances in corporate leadership across all industries. As of 2023, women comprise 20% of limited boards. In the 200 largest Norwegian companies, 84.5% of CEOs and 87% of Chairs are male. Where we have had longstanding mandates in public companies, women are 43% of Boards. Look across the table at general managers - where there are no mandates - and women are 9%. Look to founders and only 1 in 4 is female. These figures underscore an urgent need for #action to dismantle barriers to female advancement. Thanks to NHO Ole Erik Almlid The Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions (LO) Peggy Hessen Følsvik and the Norwegian government Jan Christian Vestre, new regulations for medium-sized & large companies move towards 40% gender balance in boards. These rules began rolling out Jan 1, 2024 and will cover 20,000 companies by 2028. Norway is the first in the world to take this step. We should be proud! 🇳🇴 But what does this really mean❓ Already in 2024, approx 6,600 new board reps are needed, mostly women. Let's assume 50% needed are women and 5% needed are health & life science companies (we KNOW it is more on both). That means 165 women needed for board seats in health & life science companies in 2024❗ No woman wants to be chosen as part of a mandate - and that's not the aim. The point is, we have untapped talent right here - educated, skilled, strong, valuable #women who aren't at the top. The point is to offer the training & confidence needed for each woman to stand up and say, "This is meant for me." Enter Women in Life Science Norway (WiLD Norway). We aim to be a beacon of empowerment & inclusivity, beyond mere representation, focusing on helping qualified women skillfully ascend to executive and board roles. 👩🏼💼🔝 At #WiLDNorway, we recognize the power of #community, #mentorship, & #training. Through our network of accomplished women & men, we aim to provide the guidance & inspiration for the next generation of #leaders. We champion #diversity in all forms & envision a world 🌍 in which a woman's personal & professional contributions are automatically seen & used as an asset in every organization, industry, & company. We proudly stand with Women in Life Science Denmark & VILDA - Ledande kvinnor i Life Science in the commitment to build a more equitable future in the Nordics. ✊🏼 🚀 More info coming.
