This panel discussion focuses on gender, employee voice and social justice. It looks to enable critical reflection and engagement in interdisciplinary discussions about the opportunities and challenges of employee voice to address gender dynamics in the workplace.
Panel members will share insights from their research to discuss the interplay of gender and employee voice, the use of employee voice to achieve social justice and the possibilities of an inclusive agenda on employee voice.
Some of the questions that will be addressed in the panel discussion are:
- In what ways is employee voice gendered?
- To what extent can employee voice support social justice for marginalized groups?
- How could we reframe discussions about employee voice to tackle gender inequalities?
