Welcome to Episode 6 where we dive into Boys Club: What it is and the ways in which women and other groups that have been marginalised within our patriarchal social construct may experience it in the workplace. We talk about how to recognise if your own organisation has a Boys Club culture and share our personal experiences with it in the corporate world. We discuss strategies to fight against Boys Club but also why we should ALL fight against it from a financial and future-proofing perspective, if the gender equality argument doesn't quite sway you..!
