Equality isn't a dream—it's a decision. And today's leaders face a defining moment: drive workplace equality forward or fall behind. The global pandemic proved we can transform workplace norms overnight. As remote work, digital innovation, and evolving expectations reshape our professional world, we have an unprecedented opportunity to accelerate meaningful change.

The Female Quotient Equality Lounge® @ Davos, held during the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2025, addresses how forward-thinking leadership can drive both social progress and business success. The event explores practical strategies to build more equitable, sustainable and purpose-driven organizations in a new era of work. When working to foster a more equitable workplace, it’s important to include neurodiversity. With Dyslexic Thinkers often proficient in the top skills needed to power the future, it’s essential to create a workplace that is more welcoming to such talent. To address this imperative, Mike Smith, chief executive of Randstad Enterprise, participated in a panel discussion — details below.
