To coincide with International Women’s Day today, I wanted to reflect on the career path I have chosen and the sport I love to play and how both those realms have been affected by my being a woman.
When I joined the media company where I now work it would be fair to say the leadership of the business was somewhat skewed towards males. It shouldn’t be that surprising, leadership in business has always been that way, but what I have seen is that proper efforts are being made to ensure equity and recognition across the board. Although more improvements can still be made, it has been pleasing to see our business introduce schemes around mentoring and flexible working, ensuring equal pay and benefits and more flexible maternity and paternity leave.
