Que peuvent faire les managers pour renforcer l'égalité des sexes dans les entreprises suisses ? Des chefs d'entreprise et des cadres supérieurs de Suisse et du Québec participent à une table ronde virtuelle pour échanger leurs opinions et bonnes pratiques, en référence aux résultats de l'enquête " Leaders for Equality " présentée par l'Université de St.Gall. L'objectif est d’outiller les managers dans une perspective de leadership inclusif. 

S'appuyant sur le projet "Leaders for Equality" et grâce au soutien du Gouvernement du Québec (Canada), l'association ASC/SKO/SwissLeaders propose un pont virtuel entre deux pays géographiquement éloignés mais très proches en termes de paysage économique.
