Why feedback is important for women's confidence

We wanted to raise this important topic again and what better way than to do it with this great episode with amazing guest Michelle Jackson who is now Head of Diversity and Inclusion at Shaw Trust.

Takeaways!

• Barriers facing women at work
• Why feedback is important
• Celebrate the achievements
• The importance of peer recognition
• Internal Women's Networks (ERGs)

Today we are talking about the barriers that women often face when it comes to their career progression and what simple steps can be taken to to support them especially associated with remote working and the impact that this can have on women's visibility and career progression. 

Networking in the corridors of after face to face meetings isn't a possibility right now and we have to think differently to make it work for everyone.

We get to hear insights from the amazing Michelle Jackson who is EDI Adviser at Shaw Trust.  She creates strategies, a range of activities and ways of working that remove barriers faced by groups who are underrepresented in more senior roles in the workplace and create a culture where people feel confident to take forward opportunities.  Shaw Trust has got some exciting ideas lined up and I know Michelle and I could talk about this all day!  Take a listen.
