I confess to not knowing every detail, but it would seem that the #math here is not complicated. Once again #women have to wait. Maybe it would be more novel to start from a place of #equal. #equality #soccer #paygap https://t.co/IkviMN6ryP

@bankofcanada chooses its next leader and it's a #man. I have every confidence in @TiffMacklem, but I have to ask: why not Carolyn Wilkins? Is this again #evidence of the #persistence of #women hitting the #2spot and not moving forward? #catalystcommunity #genderequality

.@deborah_gillis, CEO, @camhfoundation, on how to remain connected to your team during #COVID19:

“Carve out time to have real #conversations. Be intentional about reaching out. Ask questions and pay attention to whether people's behavior starts to change." #CatalystCommunity

[CatalystInc @CatalystInc]

“This is a moment where we are striving for #progress, not perfection from #employees.” 💯

There are a range of stresses and anxieties people are facing in this new #COVID19 work reality. One is the need for people to demonstrate that they are being #productive, particularly given the level of job insecurities. #MentalHealth #CatalystCommunity
