For a long time, the fact that men were striving to climb the career ladder and women stayed at home to take care of the household - in the case of a heterosexual relationship - was the working formula. Although times seem to have changed, multiple phenomena show that this formula is still present in most parts of organizational life. Roos van Dalen is here to underline that the one so-called perfect mold of the ideal employee is outdated, that we should change the above-mentioned formula, and how. Roos van Dalen is an expert on Diversity & Inclusion, especially focused on gender. She conducted research on the ways Dutch top women make sense of gender inequality at the top of organizations, speaking with relevant female leaders from multiple corporates in The Netherlands. Her goal is to build bridges together with both women and men regarding (gender) diversity and inclusion. Roos has written multiple articles for newspapers and monthly columns, while also speaking at events, and giving workshops. Through her research, she found that there has been written a lot about the shortage of women at the top, but not so much from the point of view of those who already made it there. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
