💬‘Over 40% of women felt that their voices aren't heard and they're constantly interrupted in meetings and they feel that their opinions are not valued as much as their male counterparts. And when you then put some of the intersectional lenses over that, so put an age demographic or ethnicity demographic on there, that's getting significantly worse.’ Louise Parry FCIPD, Energy & Utility Skills 🚀 New Podcast Episode Launch: ‘EDI in the Water Sector: An Honest Assessment of Latest Stats’. Co-hosts Lila and Perminder are joined by Louise Parry FCIPD who reveals some challenging trends in the latest EDI stats in the water sector, prompting an honest discussion on how things can improve. 🌟 🔑Highlights from this episode: 🔵Gender Bias in Senior Roles: Half of all respondents feel they're treated differently because of their gender, with women often facing more scrutiny as they progress into leadership positions. 🔵Inclusive Recruitment Practices: It’s time to rethink the traditional hiring criteria—do we really need degrees or sector experience? Re-evaluating these can open doors for diverse talent and help tackle unconscious bias in recruitment. 🔵Accountability for Senior Leaders: Senior leaders must foster inclusive environments where employees feel safe to speak up, challenge biases, and have their voices heard without fear of judgement. 🎧 Listen to the full episode now : bit.ly/BTS_EDI_stats ‘Beneath The Surface’ is a podcast from British Water, supported by Xylem Water Solutions UK & Ireland.
