Creating Comfortable and Inclusive Working Spaces for Women to Thrive | Cherena Fox

From setting up flexible working hours to providing childcare assistance and creating gender-neutral language policies, there are many steps companies can take to ensure that women thrive in their workspaces. These measures go beyond just providing benefits – they’re essential for creating a community of trust and support that allows everyone to reach their full potential. In this episode with Cherena Fox, we talk about ways to empower women in corporate or business from a younger age. Women have legacies and great achievements that need conducive environments to be nurtured. Learn more in this episode!
