Episode 12: Workplace Diversity
Less than 5 per cent of Asian-Australians make it to senior executive levels. Only 1.6 per cent become CEOs. It’s no secret that Asians are severely underrepresented in corporate leadership, despite being overrepresented among high-achieving university graduates. How can we overcome the ‘bamboo ceiling’? Are quotas necessary? Or is affirmative action just one part of the story? Join us as we dissect the social, cultural and structural barriers to diversity in corporate leadership with Keerthi Ravi - an Australian lawyer from Allens and founder of Diverse Women in Law, a non-for-profit organisation aiming to promote and support diverse women lawyers and law students.
