The Gender Gap is Real

Together we’re working to close it

 

[Female VO and text on screen]

One of the features of coming from, in my case, a number of underrepresented groups is that you get a great insight into the extent to which we’re all make assumptions about each other all the time

 

[Female VO and text on screen]

I do feel that I’m contributing in a very practical way to changing perceptions about what a leader in engineering looks like, and this really matters because engineers play an absolutely pivotal role in shaping the world around us

 

[Female VO and text on screen]

So at the Royal Academy of Engineering changing that diversity imbalance is one of our top priorities. We also run the diversity and inclusion leadership program

 

[Female VO and text on screen]

It’s really powerful for helping develop empathetic, inclusive leadership helping to inspire people around you and making them feel good about what they’re bringing to work and their opportunity to bring their whole selves to work

 

[Female VO and text on screen]

I think we’re starting to make a positive change happen in engineering but there is so much more to do, and I think we have to be more ambitious and not accept that incremental change is good enough anymore

 

[Female VO and text on screen]

You can all contribute to it and you can all benefit from it, and that’s going to require more engineering employers to put diversity and inclusion at the heart of their business priorities

 

[Text on screen]

Ultimately we need everybody on board if we’re really going to make this change

[Male VO and text on screen]

Nobody should go home from work feeling that they don’t belong

It’s bad for business, it’s bad for society, it’s just wrong

 

[Text on screen]

Tariq Hussain Global STEM Lead, Shell

 

[Male VO and text on screen]

 I want my daughters to grow up feeling that they can do anything they want and there should be no path cut off to them

But that in itself is not enough you know, it’s all very well to attract girls to science and engineering, but what do we do when once they’re actually in that profession?

You make this correlation between diversity and how you feel as an individual, if you feel good about yourself you’ll do better work, it’s obvious

You know as a human being I feel more comfortable in a diverse environment

Talent is spread evenly, but opportunity needs to be as well

Iana is working to close the gender gap

We’re sharing stories like hers

[Female VO and text on screen]

I’m from Brazil

my parents are chinese immigrants

I think that’s why I value so much diversity and inclusion

 

[Text on screen]

Iana Chan Co-founder, PrograMaria

[Female VO and text on screen]

A lot of people think that women are not interested in technology

But they need to understand it’s not a lack of interest, it’s a lack of opportunity

So we created PrograMaria as an initiative to empower women with technology and programming

It’s very powerful to see that at the end of the course they realise that yes they can code, they can do whatever they want to

 

[Female VO and text on screen]

If they can use technology as a tool to build things they want to build,

[Text on screen]

we would have a better society and a better world

The Gender Gap is Real

Together we’re working to close it

 

[Female VO and text on screen]

Growing up and having a vision to be an engineer, like anyone with a dream, is something you hold very close to your heart

 

[Female VO and text on screen]

I came to the UK to do a masters in engineering and management and that was where I started to feel not so inclusive

 

[Female VO and text on screen]

I thought I was the weird one, I thought I was different and then years down the line I hear all these women with exactly the same stories, having been through exactly the same journey

 

[Female VO and text on screen]

And I really think one of the ways that as a society, we can move forward in this whole agenda of encouraging more women into the sector is just being very aware of how we make other people feel

 

[Female VO and text on screen]

With Forward Ladies I have a mission to connect women globally, to experts and to organisations that support and empower them

 

 

[Female VO and text on screen]

The mission is to connect people, but also to bring the voice of women into discussions

 

[Female VO and text on screen]

We need to be ok with speaking up and being visible because there’s somebody right next to you, just watching you and feeling so inspired

 

[Female VO and text on screen]

We don’t have to wait for anyone to come change the world for us you change it in your own little way, and

 

[Text on screen]:

our children and the next generation will thank us for that

The Gender Gap is Real

Together we’re working to close it

 

[Female VO and text on screen]

When I entered the workforce I definitely was in an environment that was male dominated. I probably should have called out the sorts of behaviours that were pretty common place then

 

 

[Female VO and text on screen]

I slowly started to realise that I needed to think a bit differently about this issue

 

 

[Female VO and text on screen]

I took on the role last year of chairing out employee network for gender equality

 

 

[Female VO and text on screen]

We as a network have a number of initiatives that we work on, mentoring be that in circles or one on one or virtual mentoring, which is equally important for men as well

[Female VO and text on screen]

Gender balance is not a women’s issues, it’s a leadership issue

 

[Female VO and text on screen]

Celebrating the difference between genders and all aspects of diversity, is what makes an organisation or a society much stronger

 

[Female VO and text on screen]

It’s not something you can say we’re going to focus on this month and then move on to something else, it’s something that you need to be committed to

 

[Text on screen]

It’s what you do everyday that makes the difference
