Talking Gender Equity with Pamela Culpepper
Join us as Robin and Mike talk with Pam Culpepper of Have Her Back\xa0about Gender Equity in the workplace.\n\nAs the two-year anniversary of the #Metoo movement arrives, only 15% of women believe that the movement has had an impact on their workplace, career, and opportunities in general, according to a nationwide survey conducted by\xa0Have Her Back Consulting, a women-owned and led culture consultancy.\xa0\n\nThe findings suggest that despite culture\u2019s demand to advance equity for women, few companies have actually taken specific actions to change corporate culture.
