It’s not acceptable that women still encounter so many barriers to getting into and thriving at work. By breaking down those barriers we can create a better and more productive economy for all. That is why the CDA has launched Un_Biased.
Un_Biased is a project to analyse women’s work life journeys, understand the barriers that can stop them from realising their full potential and identify opportunities for change. There are lots of different ways to get involved and have your say and we want to hear from as many people as possible!
A fairer economy is a thriving economy.
An economy that everyone can access means more talent, more creativity and greater diversity of thought and experience – all of which leads to happier and more productive teams and better outcomes.
