Broadcaster and business journalist Penny Haslam set off on a journey to find out why there were so few women experts on TV and radio, and found they are simply harder to come by because the modern workplace isn’t working for women. Despite entering the labour market in equal numbers to men, they’re getting stuck at middle management or they’re leaving to set up on their own. It’s time for change, and plenty of work is being done to get greater diversity in firms, but it’s slow going. What can be done to help speed things up? Penny suggests that we harness the power of visibility for women, to create a win-win situation for everyone.
