Supporting Women in the Workplace: Employer Obligations and How to Meet Them

In 2023, women in Canada, on average, earned 78 cents for every dollar earned by a man.

Women face more than just pay inequity in the workplace. They often deal with harassment, discrimination, limited access to mentorship and leadership roles, and bear the brunt of caregiving responsibilities at home, leaving them with less personal time.

If women lack the resources and safe environment to work, it affects morale, productivity, and your bottom line.

International Women’s Day (March 8) is a good time to assess whether you’re meeting your legal obligations and supporting gender equality in the workplace.

In this webinar, our experts Olivia Cicchini and Dixon Karichian provide free guidance on supporting women in the workplace.
