But progress in #genderequality has been too slow and uneven - and has in some places seen a tremendous setback partly because of #covid19, partly because of conservative backlash on #womensrights. @CIOStraightTalk #STinsights #IWD2022

The needle is indeed moving slowly. And the pandemic could be a huge reason if not the only one. What do you think?Q1 A lot is being done in organizations and yet the needle is moving slowly. The question should be, are those efforts enough? The gender gap starts very early in schools and it widens. We need society , social construct to be the catalyst as well. @CIOStraightTalk #STinsights https://t.co/rzRxFTiCnN

We cannot change what we are not aware of. And once we are aware, we cannot help but change. This quote is the perfect introduction for our next question!Q2 According to @McKinsey the pandemic has regressive effect on gender equality as women’s jobs are 1.8 times 📈 vulnerable. Women’s employment is 📉 faster than average also due to the burden of unpaid care - & violence against women is 📈 @CIOStraightTalk #STinsights https://t.co/SDbvDx7FCg pic.twitter.com/rhnCe7sPfQ

#STinsights Q3, It is not so much industry specific, as we see some of the best companies in typical male oriented organizations driving really successful gender diversity programs and so much depends on the companies culture and commitment to D&I change. @CIOStraightTalk #OneHCL https://t.co/WoommB8UJj

Q.3 Cybersecurity needs attention. The stats are improving but without consistency in measurement, TBH we're not really sure. All we know is there are around 24% of women performing these roles. 13% of #CISOs. Brain drain is a huge threat & no data related to gender. #STinsighs https://t.co/MgHaDHuS9c

Q4 - You see leaders walking the talk . The male leaders don’t participate in panels where there is no diversity . Gender neutral language is promoted. Differences are celebrated. @CIOStraightTalk #STInsights https://t.co/3IfdHaBF6n

Q4/A4: It starts at the top. The CEO and whole C-Suite need to walk the talk and take the lead. Getting bigger gender diversity at all levels is not a HR fix - it is a CEO responsibility. @CIOStraightTalk #STinsights #IWD2022 #genderequality https://t.co/0l5gtDdFuM
— Katja Iversen (@Katja_Iversen) March 8, 2022
Q4 focus on unconscious gender bias thru training training and more training, especially-sensitivity, comms&ldrship styles, cultural awareness and gender differences. Confirm gender neutral policies.Understand/Celebrate diversity & make it mandatory #STinsights #BreaktheBias https://t.co/jVCmPRRjPa
