Women in Leadership Q&As!
On Monday we were straight into our diversity
week events with our ‘women in leadership’ Q&A
sessions led by members of the AH Diversity
Group. Our panels answered questions about
their own careers and how they achieve work/
life balance. They gave advice on what women
can do to achieve their goals and explained what
AmicusHorizon is doing to support female members
of staff. They also gave some brilliant examples of
female role models.

In Kent, staff said it was great to hear from women
at all levels in the organisation. They felt, it was a
fresh, open and honest discussion with some great
advice.
In London, lots of lively discussion and advice
for women on how to develop their careers. Staff
said all panel members were knowledgeable,
had some brilliant examples to share and were
really encouraging. Being a woman is not a
barrier to career progression but a stepping stone
to greatness. It’s up to individuals to challenge
themselves and embrace the career development
opportunities available within AH.
In Sussex the conclusion was really positive; female
staff feel supported and enabled by AmicusHorizon
to progress in their careers. There was a strong
feeling that male and female staff should be
supported in the same way and given equal
opportunities to achieve their full potential.
Thanks again to all our panel members who were
so open with their answers and had some brilliant
advice to share.
