RISE: Accelerating the advancement of women in Capital Markets in Canada
RISE is an action-based framework to accelerate the progress of women in Capital Markets in Canada. Based on interviews with women in income-generating positions in various Capital Markets organisations, it highlights the advances that have been made in the sector, and outlines the biases, norms and barriers that still hold women back.
To generate real change in the industry, it includes selected actions that individuals, managers, and firms can take to progress women in Capital Markets. Based on empirical data and behavioural science research, RISE highlights four ways to promote inclusion: 1) changing notions of competence, 2) inspiring accountable leadership, 3) stop fixing and starting to include women, and 4) embracing a new vision of the ideal worker.
Join us to explore how the RISE framework can drive real change in your organisation.
