The Cost of Getting It Wrong: Why Gender Equality Is a Finance Issue
Thursday 24th July 2025
11:00 – 12:00 AM
Gender equality is no longer just a HR challenge – it’s a material business risk. With gender pay gap reporting now mandatory for companies with 50+ employees in Ireland, finance leaders are increasingly being asked to interpret, fund, and defend the numbers. But what if we told you the real cost lies not in the gap – but in getting the response wrong?
Join Platform55 for a thought-provoking session designed specifically for Finance and CFOs to discover why gender equality is directly linked to financial performance, regulatory reputation, and long-term workforce sustainability.
Whether it’s the hidden costs of attrition, the drag on innovation, the shareholder value tied to inclusive cultures, or supply chain impact this session will unpack the financial consequences of inaction – and the ROI of doing it right.
