From Policy to Practice: What the GEM Data Demands
Grounded in the Women in Work Gender Equity Measure, this session explores where real progress is happening - and where it isn’t.

Moderated by Heather Blundell (CEO at Grayling) with panel guests Sarah Steinberg (Global Public Policy Partnerships at LinkedIn) and Laura Biggs (Co Founder and CEO at Women in Work) this discussion examines where intent breaks down - and where accountability must truly sit.

Leaders Changing Work for Women
We talk often about representation and progression - less about the cost of leadership.
Recorded live at the Women in Work Summit, this conversation explores the trade-offs, scrutiny and visibility that come with senior roles, especially when systems haven’t yet caught up.
Moderated by Liz Claydon (KPMG), with Fiona Howarth (Octopus EV), Mary Bekhait (YMU) and Heather Blundell (Grayling), this is an honest, cross-industry discussion on what leadership really demands.

Fireside with The Rt Hon Rachel Reeves
Recorded live in Davos, this special fireside with The Rt Hon Rachel Reeves takes place at a moment of global uncertainty - with economic pressure mounting and geopolitical tensions high.
This is not a theoretical conversation. It explores leadership under pressure, the economic choices shaping women’s lives, and what happens to gender equality when the world feels precarious.

Menopause: The Talent Crisis Leaders Can No Longer Ignore
Menopause affects half the workforce - yet remains largely invisible at senior levels.
Recorded live at the Women in Work Summit, this session explores menopause not as a wellbeing issue, but as a leadership, retention and economic challenge.
Moderated by journalist and women’s health advocate Sophie Sulehria, the discussion draws on data from over 15,000 responses to the Menopause 2025 Mega Survey.
Sophie is joined by Tina Backhouse (Theramex) and Laura Biggs (Women in Work), both Directors and Patrons of Menopause Mandate.
This is not a niche issue - it’s an economic one.
