Philippa Davies | Breaking Barriers: Uplifting Women Leaders in STEM

In this episode of Helping Organisations Thrive, we are joined by Philippa Davies as we explore the challenges women face in advancing to leadership positions in STEM.
Philippa shares how many women are leaving the STEM industry before reaching leadership positions, often due to workplace cultures that lack inclusivity and flexibility. Philippa delves into how organisations can better support women, especially new mothers returning to work, emphasising the importance of flexible working arrangements, coupled with the support of well-trained line managers.
We explore practical strategies for women to maintain career momentum through pregnancy and parenthood, as well as discussing how men can actively support women’s success by serving as role models for working parents. By fostering a culture of equality and shared responsibilities and ultimately creating a more inclusive and supportive workplace, we can help women thrive.
