The Glass Elevator

Powerful voices around the world continue to insist that women must be given an equal opportunity to contribute to communities and economies. The discussion is no longer about equity alone. The data has proven that for better outcomes, women must be present in greater numbers in leadership and decision-making roles.
As we grapple with the pace of change, with the increasingly urgent need to adapt to the uncertainty, and the need to take advantage of the opportunities, there is an understanding that we cannot afford to waste the talent that exists in the female population.
 
As disruption shakes those incumbents and their business models with technological advances and solutions, we still need human capital. Countries around the world must harness the creativity, courage and resilience of their people in order to realise new opportunities for sustainable and shared prosperity. And so it follows that we must invest in our people to ensure that they are innovative, productive and global citizens.

Pottinger is proud to support women through its Glass Elevator Initiative: to connect, inspire and engage women. 

Pottinger is joined by our proud corporate sponsors in Australia: Asciano; Unilever; Microsoft; Qantas; and Jetstar.
 
And we are excited to announce that, due to popular request, the Glass Elevator will be expanding  to the United States in 2017! Watch this space for updates. ​
