Pat Milligan

Happy birthday to my favorite thoughtful guy. Love you, always, @BarackObama. 🥰

Today, @Christinebworks and I are officially launching a partnership that brings together decades of experience as business leaders and change agents. Reach out, learn more & join us to drive progress in our circles of influence wherever they are! brightworksconsulting.com/press-release/

This #InternationalWomensDay, I recognize that progress is happening. It just needs to happen faster, because for many women around the world, the inequity is a matter of life and death. #IWD22 linkedin.com/posts/activity…

YES! @JoanCWilliams of @WorkLifeLawCtr is completely on point in this piece for @FortuneMagazine. Policy and intent matter, but without concrete metrics and data that is transparent, accessible, and consistently tracked and reported, #DEI is meaningless. fortune.com/2021/12/07/met…

“Biz leaders will need to continue investing time, resources & effort in programs that help build and maintain their company culture and help their humans stay connected, productive and engaged." Fully agree with this @Workhuman quote for @EBNbenefitnews benefitnews.com/news/employees…

Many orgs are postponing their #NewYear2022 return to the office. But leaders need to stop trying to "just get past" an arbitrary milestone and start building a hybrid environment that can be more nimble. (via @LananhTNguyen for @nytimes) nytimes.com/2022/01/02/bus…

My thoughts on self-care, resilience, and comparative suffering as we turn the calendar page to a new year. #NewYear2022 linkedin.com/posts/activity…

An interesting case from @BilharMann of @styrainc and @OpenPolicyAgent on why a remote workforce may be the best long-term approach to a successful, inclusive team. (via @Forbes) forbes.com/sites/forbeste…

While the proliferation of female entrepreneurs is encouraging, the rest of this @wef data is sobering to say the least. We have to recognize that #COVID19 hit women in the workforce harder, and do some serious course correction. (via @Reuters) weforum.org/agenda/2021/12…

"But on Christmas Eve, Mrs. Claus hit the North Pole’s glass ceiling." A fun holiday read from @ConversationUS on how Mrs. Claus embodies 19th-century debates about women’s rights. #MerryChristmas2021 theconversation.com/how-mrs-claus-…

ICYMI the theme of #IWD2022 was announced! The business case is strong that gender-equal orgs are more resilient, but as @UN_Women reinforces here, #genderequality is also inextricably tied to the sustainability of our planet.

"We want to see companies go through a #genderaudit. This is why we included @EDGE_CERT as one of the scoring criteria in the @Equileap Indices" @DianavMaasdijk @AUnguresan @SScarpaleggia @pat_milligan1 #ESG #genderbalance #diversity #inclusion #EDGECertified

What an inspiration @mariaressa is. In reading the coverage of her #NobelPrize win, it's clear that she's a champion for freedom and democracy, a courageous storyteller, and a trailblazing female journalist. (via @rapplerdotcom) rappler.com/about/maria-re…

October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month, and while there is an increased awareness of and demand for meaningful #DEI, people with disabilities are too often omitted from the conversation. Inclusion must be inclusion for ALL. #NDEAM linkedin.com/posts/activity…

Appreciate this framing from @PiaLovesYourBiz for @Forbes. Diversity and inclusion are often presented as the "right" thing to do, and even more often as a perfunctory requirement. We need to shift the conversation to why it's the smart thing to do. forbes.com/sites/piasilva…

This is essential to an effective #DEI strategy. Diversity is multi-dimensional, and you must be intentional in your outreach to and support of neurodiverse candidates and employees with disabilities (via @Entrepreneur) entrepreneur.com/article/383409

Really looking forward to this conversation tomorrow with @HerminiaIbarra of @LBS, Sabina Mehmood of @Bloomberg, and my colleague @AUnguresan of @EDGE_CERT. Register now and I'll see you at 11 a.m. ET tomorrow! linkedin.com/posts/activity…

As more employees return to work and reevaluate their career paths, companies need to understand and improve their diversity, equity, and inclusion practices. At @EDGE_CERT, we see that strong #DEI isn’t a nice to have - it’s a must-have. eventbrite.com/e/unpacking-eq…

Join me, @EDGE_CERT, and @Christinebworks for a timely discussion on workplace #equity with @McLeodLara and Gabrielle Mellon of @axon_us, and @cbylone of @IFF. This fantastic panel will tackle #equity in the workplace on Tuesday, Sept. 14, at 11am PT. eventbrite.com/e/unpacking-eq…

It's disheartening that the pursuit of pay parity is still an uphill battle, but the #ERA would go a long way towards making progress for Black women, in particular. (via @CarrieNBaker for @MsMagazine) msmagazine.com/2021/08/05/equ…
