Women At Work

RIP The Notorious RBG. She dedicated her life to achieving equality. She flipped gender law, by winning for men, she won for women. It’s so simple yet so genius and we truly hope we can all learn from her. We don’t get angry we get smart to drive change.

This week we are talking all things working from home; top tips to keep you on track, ideas to structure your child’s day, online collaboration tools & sharing parental load #remoteworking#wfh#covid-19uk#schoolclosures #socialdistancing

WAW, founded on International Women’s Day 2017 with the belief of creating a hive of knowledge to help ALL women in their careers, WHATEVER stage they're at. 2,900+ members form an amazing community who support, challenge & help advise on every day, real life work situations.

Discuss #CallOutCulture So we’ve been thinking... Is there a difference between #activism & #nameshaming when we #CallItOut? When it comes to #EDI we wonder if #CallItOut is the best way to help to close #everydaysexism & gender gaps. What do you think Twitter?

Love this @WATC_Updates ‘inspirational woman’ interview with Women at Work co-founder and travel industry maven @carostrachan 💪🏻 wearethecity.com/inspirational-…

2020 wishlist for dads at work, great article Thanks for the TEDx shout out @LifeDaddi "I thought Caroline Strachan’s Tedx talk about this area, was one of the most enlightened from last year, and is exactly the sort of progress we now need to take action on" @WomenAtWorkUK

Morning. BBC News is looking to chat to men who’ve been discouraged by their boss, or on the receiving end of mockery from co-workers because they’ve chosen shared parental leave over paternity leave. You'd need to be willing to speak on TV. Any takers, interest or leads?

Congrats to Vodafone group for joining other early adopters of equal paid parental leave. #genderequity #Workingparents @WomenAtWorkUK @WorkingdadsUK @GenderCollect

@carostrachan What did it end up being? I’d have gone LBD I think. Very odd dress code. Unless it’s helpfully one code for women and one for men?! 🤨

Painful event dress-code: Cocktail Attire / Business Casual. Where do you go with that? I'm lost.

@RHarper18 The @WomenAtWorkUK members put this together, it might help womenatwork.org.uk/hello-world-2/

Pleased to contribute to this @FT feature on behalf of @WomenAtWorkUK and have one of our members featured too Nicely done @aliciamargclegg

.@IngaBeale My question for you was "You have amazing presence. You truly own it. What advice do you have for those who struggle with confidence/need to get out of their own way?" asking on behalf of @WomenAtWorkUK members.

The meeting of (2 of the) minds behind @WomenAtWorkUK and @WorkingdadsUK ... because women don't just become mothers, #PeopleBecomeParents

Today our quest is for examples of best practice of #flexibleworking #jobshares #parentalleave & caring for #children and #dependents. Who is getting this right? Who can help? Where can you go for advice? Policies? Help? #SmashingStereotypes #TheCollective #GenderEquality

Have you got a story of post menopausal bleeding at work? Or perhaps you have worried about taking time off for screening or for preventative surgeries? We would love to hear from you for Girl to Woman Well-being Week #EveAtWork

THIS...👇 Are you speaking at a conference/ lecture/ other event...? *Use the mic* 🎤 You might think your voice ‘carries’... ...but I can promise you that it doesn’t carry to my hearing aid unless you’re using the microphone (which is connected to the loop system...)

@WomenEd It’s part of the negotiation post-offer. Let them fall in love with her and have confidence in her ability, and then the onus is also on her to ‘sell’ the arrangement and how she will make it work PT.

Asking for a friend 😊😊😊😊 An SLT position is coming up at her school and she wants it! She’s pregnant and wants to come back Part Time. There are currently no PT leaders at the school. Should she discuss PT working? Any other suggestions, please reply. #WomenEd
