This year’s International Women's Day focuses on the theme of equity. But what is the difference between equality and equity? Enterprising Women co-chairs Jean Mountain and Eileen Perry MBE DL discuss the theme, and the value of its message within the business community:
“Throughout our time as co-chairs of Enterprising Women, we’ve spoken to hundreds of women across East Midlands Chamber’s network about the challenges they have overcome to achieve success in their job role, business or even personal life.
From not receiving recognition for the position you’re in, to balancing motherhood with full-time work and menopause in the workplace, we aim to start these conversations so women working within our community don’t feel so alone in these challenges and are inspired to see others who have overcome them.
