Addressing the challenge of gender bias in the workplace can feel overwhelming, and it\u2019s hard to know where to begin. Gender bias is a complex issue, and there isn\u2019t a one-size-fits-all solution. However, even small changes can have a massive impact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To better understand how individuals at any level of an organisation can create and influence change, we asked three professionals from beauty retailer LUXASIA<\/a> for insights on how to #BreakTheBias this International Women\u2019s Day. Avis Easteal, Tatyana Gonzaga, and Kimly Scott, who all work in different roles and regions for LUXASIA, share how they support gender equality at work and at home. Read on to learn their thoughts on the role that individuals and businesses can play in promoting gender equity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gender equity is good for business<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Equality makes good business sense. High-performing teams that welcome diverse opinions create more innovative solutions<\/a>, with more inclusive and effective workplaces. In fact, diverse groups perform better<\/a> by developing ideas from myriad perspectives, solving problems with smarter outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why addressing the topic of gender bias is important to ensure a fair and more cohesive workplace<\/a>. Gender bias can show up in teams in the way employees are treated differently, from different pay rates to the creation of exclusive teams. Recognising and addressing this topic takes courage and action. Even small changes made at the individual level \u2014 and at every level of an organisation \u2014 can have a significant impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avis Easteal<\/a> leads the marketing division as Regional Head of Consumer. As part of the leadership team in Singapore, Avis has pioneered many new digital innovations at LUXASIA<\/i>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During my career, the gender equality conversations have changed, and companies are adjusting their ways of working. At LUXASIA, 60% of our leadership team is female, and we have a majority of female employees. It is refreshing to be encouraged as a female leader to expand the team\u2019s ways of working.<\/p>\n\n\n
