Women in the Workplace

Inquiry Status: Oral evidence sessions ongoing

Commenting on the launch of the inquiry, the Chair of the Committee, Adrian Bailey MP, said:

"Inequality has no place in the workplace.
 
Discriminating against female employees is not only unfair to women, it is detrimental to businesses and damaging to the economy.
 
Complacency, inactivity and stereotyping can all act as barriers to progress.
 
We need to know what steps have been taken to tackle gender inequality, what effect they have had and what more might be done."
