THE International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) has launched a new toolkit for "Positive Practice Environments for Women in Science and Education," raising awareness of five key areas needing attention.
Topics include equal incentives for equal work; work-life balance; creating supportive and safe working environments; opportunities for professional development, recognition and empowerment; and women in leadership.
Developed by the FIP Women in Science and Education (FIPWISE) Enabling Workplaces Working Group, the document builds on the organisation's collaboration with the World Health Professions Alliance to ensure positive practice environments for healthcare professionals.
"We see women making an extraordinary contribution to global health, but not yet being rewarded equally with men in pay, leadership or career progression," said FIP CEO Catherine Duggan.
"By creating and managing positive practice environments we can help women to achieve their full potential in all sectors...when an environment is supportive, enabling and collaborative, we can all thrive," she said.
Complete with an analysis of the issues, possible solutions for workplaces and a series of case studies, the new toolkit is now available at fip.org.
