New moves to get women back to work
Monday September 11, 04:08 AM
The Government is to announce a package of measures designed to destroy barriers to women
succeeding in the workplace. Among the initiatives is a national campaign to encourage businesses to sign
up as "exemplar employers" offering women help with flexible working, time-share, and good quality parttime
work.
New national standards should be determined for local education authorities, requiring them by April 2007
to offer schoolgirls "careers information, advice and guidance which is free from gender stereotyping".
Communities Secretary Ruth Kelly will say: "The best of business already understands the benefits that
flexible working delivers, but it's time the rest jump on board. There is a practical business reason - helping
women harness their full potential is worth up to £23 billion a year to the UK economy, according to the
Commission.
"So my message to business is clear, this is not about political correctness, this is about improving your
profit margins." She will add: "We have given parents the basic rights to improve their choices and help
them succeed at home and at work. But the challenge now is to ensure we establish a longterm change in
attitude and a major expansion of opportunities, with businesses helping individuals make the most of their
talents."
