Token Man (www.Tokenman.org) is an initiative to give Men in industry a better understanding of the challenges women face in business and a greater empathy for when they are in the minority. We hope to achieve individual behaviour change that fuels a cultural shift in the workplace, enabling men in a tangible way to contribute to the movement for gender equality. Ultimately this needs to act as a platform for the progression of women in industry to reverse gender inequality.
This was our first event at Shoreditch House in which we not only shared our first findings but also found new ways of hacking corporate culture, making it easier for women to thrive
