The Fireside chat is themed: ‘Take the Center Stage: Speak
Up!’. Through the event, the Bank seeks to analyse and offer solutions to how
women can maintain assertiveness in the workplace, own their voice as well as
identify and handle imposter syndrome.
Other conversation areas include the importance of flexible
work environments in encouraging engagement and retention for women in the
workplace and leveraging intersectionality in the workplace.
Group Head, W Initiative, Access Bank Plc., Ayona Trimnell
said;
“There is need for increased discussions about real
challenges that affect women in the workplace. The peculiarities of the global
community today means that we are awakened to the successes women can achieve
given the right systems and platforms for expression.”
“We are also aware of the gaps and stereotypes that need to
be challenged if we are to achieve the ultimate goal of this month’s
commemoration – gender balance and equality.”
“Women daily are seen through the lens of stereotypes that
exist in the society, marketplace, in the government, corporate organisations,
to name a few. Hence to achieve our objectives as women, we need to champion
conversations that will cause changes in the various spheres of the society. “
“At Access Bank, we do not only support women but also
promote safe spaces for conversations that will further improve lives and the
forthcoming Fireside chat is a testament to this fact. We look forward to
hosting remarkable women across all walks of life to discuss the best way to
chart a course for change.”
