Event details

In today’s ever-evolving workplace, do we really see equal opportunities and fair measures for all? Does the ‘glass ceiling’ effect, initially attributed only to women in the workplace, in fact impact a far greater population than first anticipated?

In this masterclass we'll review the impact of the glass ceiling on business and workplace equality policies and assess the case for intersectionality and other diversity characteristics being subject to the ceiling. Join Abisola Barber, Global Trading Business Manager at Barclays Investment Bank.
