Sexism in the City? Have we made progress or is the industry just box ticking and buck passing?

About this event

Is there sexism in the City? Statistics show there has been no meaningful progress in achieving diversity in the Financial Services Industry. Despite work on the Women in Finance Charter to improve the pipeline of female talent, the introduction of mandatory gender pay gap reporting and greater focus by the regulator on non-financial misconduct, there is clearly still a glass ceiling for those wanting to progress to a senior level.

Even when they do, the statistics show they often then leave in far greater numbers than their senior male counterparts. We will be discussing these topics with our wonderful panel on the day.

There will also be the opportunity for networking after the panel.

This event will focus on diversity and inclusion in the financial services sector and we will hear from our panel of speakers about:

The recent House of Commons Treasury Committee’s inquiry into “Sexism in the City”, the Regulator’s involvement and the backlash it has caused
The political landscape - how the upcoming UK General Election will impact on diversity and inclusion if Labour come into power
How the industry is responding and if the measures proposed will lead to improve diversity in the sector
