As part of this year’s International Men’s Day, our gender network group Aspire hosted its first event to celebrate.
The event recognised the importance of positive male role models and the impact they have had for men throughout the business.
During the event, colleagues heard from three key speakers including Ladi Joseph, Head of Income. They spoke about their personal stories as well as covering a range of topics from the idea of masculinity to mentorship. These were discussed further in a panel discussion that was also held on the day.
Grace Rodney-Powell, Chair of Aspire said: “This event was an amazing opportunity to recognise some of the most important topics and challenges men can face today.
It was great to not only hear about them from some inspirational speakers, but also to have the opportunity for everyone who attended to discuss their own opinions and views.
I’m so glad we were able to host an event for International Men’s Day for the first time, and I am looking forward to what's next with Aspire.”
