While it is a fact that gender bias, gender stereotyping, and discrimination are not fully eradicated from the workplace, the situation today has vastly improved from what it was a few years ago. Sindhu Gangadharan believes, “It’s what you bring to the table, articulating what you know, and bringing your best self to work that takes you to the top, gender not being a consideration.” #MorePowerToHer

Outgoing Executive Director of U.N.

The idea of sharing housework is a habit that should start from a young age. Mothers are responsible to teach this to their sons.

It’s great to see the growing consciousness about gender equality, diversity and inclusion. Look forward to the day when this is not even a special topic to talk about!

Group CEO, Tresdata Sdn Bhd, Malaysia
Gender equal workplace begins with the company culture and the mindset of each and every single person in the company. The greatest driving factor is the leadership and if any of us at the leadership team is not embodying the right culture for the gender equal workplace, the rest will not follow.
Abha Banerjee
Founder & Chief Mentor, Success India and Founder, Asia Leaders Consortium, Indonesia
Gender Equality started as a Women’s issue, but it also became a corporate issue, government issue and men’s issue which added more momentum and critical mass over the last decade.

What we need from men, as well other women, is respect for our unique identity and diversity – whether in terms of gender, relationship preference, religious denomination or political affiliation.
Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir
Noted socio-political activist and writer, Malaysia
We need more pro-active measures to diversify the workplace and elevate women and give them their due and put an end to Manels - discussion panels where there are no women at all.
Aparna Mahajan
President, Women’s Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (WICCI), India
Reforms in hiring practices to ensure a gender diverse workplace, fair compensation/equal pay, and clearly defined job roles in leadership for both men and women, to prevent stereotype role bias and gender discrimination at workplace, would be three priorities for gender equal workplaces.
Dr Wendy Liew
Director & Founder, The Image Creator Sdn Bhd, Malaysia
Changing and building more gender-inclusive workplace culture needs the participation of men to realize it. We need men as women’s spouses, brothers, friends or colleagues to support and show solidarity with their wives, sisters, daughters, colleagues for a more gender-balanced world. Make Gender Equality a Value, Not a Priority. for Sustainability. Priorities can change, Values do not.

Professional women rarely seek help from others and this is one of their biggest mistakes. Trying to achieve everything by themselves, trying to prove that they can do it all alone and make it all by themselves has a flip side and that inability to ask and receive help is a major drawback.
Dr Pauline Crawford
CEO of Corporate Heart International, USA
Equality does not mean we do the same old things men have always done. Business itself by nature needs to shift to the infinite, open minded, heartfelt game… and the mix of players makes that work. Humanize the workplace, blend life and work, men and women in conversations for mutual success. Change the boardroom set up to be closer to equal number of men and women with diverse influences and open minds to co-create new business.
Dato Aliyah Karen
CEO, MAA Medicare Charitable Foundation, Malaysia
Equal access to opportunities at the workplace. End presumptions that woman will be less productive if they are married, pregnant and have kids.
