👉 We need to take action, if we want change, it is as simple as that!
👉 There are specific Danish reasons for Denmark sliding back with regarding to DE&I, in the other countries they keep taking action, they have quotas, they have plans, they have mechanisms when they hire
👉 Especially when it comes to management and leadership we fail, we need to do more in Denmark and be serious about it
👉 Being a women is the biggest challenge for obtaining success at the labor market in Denmark
👉 Women are not able to utilize their talent to the full extent, the pay gap is especially large at the top of the income distribution for women in board rooms and female CEOs
👉 The problems are structural and when things are structural they do not come by themselves!
