Women's Forum Global Meeting 2024

Healing discrimination: Tackling workplace bias and toxicity

Oct 23, 2024 | 10:15 AM - 10:55 AM

Work Hub (Discovery Space)

Description

Workplace toxicity and biases significantly impact employee well-being and organisational success, with 60% of employees experiencing toxic behaviour and 76% citing it as a reason for leaving a job. Women, in particular, face higher rates of discrimination, hampering their career growth and overall company performance. Despite inclusive cultures being 35% more likely to outperform competitors, many DEI initiatives remain superficial. This session will explore the root causes of workplace toxicity and bias, presenting effective DEI practices and case studies to drive genuine change. Attendees will learn strategies to implement inclusive organisational changes that combat toxicity, reduce turnover, enhance engagement, and foster environments where all employees, especially women, can thrive.
