Sexism In our City

For those of you working in the Finance Sector you may not be suprised to read such headlines but I have been shocked to what exptent the EHRC findings affect our city of Edinburgh. As one of the largest finance cities relying so heavily on Banking we have got a long way to go.

One of the recommendations of the EHRC was:

  • Ensuring maternity, paternity and parental support schemes are in place and effective

Only one company was sited as having a good practice of maternity coaching. Quite incredible considering nearly 30% of the the finance sector was surveyed.

I look forward to working with some of them over the coming years!
