“Leadershift” report a “wake-up call” for gender equity in the electricity sector

In this episode of Direct & Current, Anthony Capkun interviews Michelle Branigan, CEO of Electricity Human Resources Canada, to learn more about EHRC’s research project, “Leadershift: Pathways to Gender Equity”.

And some of the findings—in this day and age—are confounding.

For example, almost 1 in every 5 men (18%) in this report believes it is easier for women to succeed in their workplace than it is for them, while 3 of every 4 women (75%) believe they have a harder time.

“I do think that some of the findings in the Leadershift report will be a big surprise to those reading it,” admits Michelle Branigan, EHRC’s CEO, “But I do think it’s going to be a little bit of a wake-up call for some leaders in the sector.”

CLICK PLAY and let’s untangle those pathways to gender equity.
