A recent major survey found that while remote working has improved pressures around appearance and health for women within the workplace, issues of fair representation and equal pay remain prevalent.
We talk to Kate Everett, Managing Partner of The Write Impression, about her own experience and Julie Temple, Partner and Head of BLHR and Employment Team at Birkett Long discusses the legislation and what it means. Dr Wanda Wyporska, Chief Executive of The Equality Trust also explains the work the charity is doing to improve equality within the workplace.
