A major action plan to tackle barriers to women's achievement in the workplace and transform the culture in Britain 'from the playground to the boardroom' was launched today by Communities Secretary Ruth Kelly.
The Government's action plan includes a raft of practical new measures addressing almost forty recommendations made by the Women and Work Commission in their 'Shaping a Fairer Future' report. It will improve opportunities for women to get on at work and encourage a culture change within those companies and organisations still failing to see the huge economic potential of their female workforce.
