Raw Data with Rob Collie Women In Data w/ Sadie St. Lawrence
On this episode, we are bringing in a true leader in workplace diversity, Sadie St. Lawrence from Women in Data! Be prepared to be surprised when you learn that Sadie's idea of diversity is more of a value-driven balance that benefits all people regardless of gender. Improvements, she points out, made in the workplace under the guise of removing gender disparity enhance the workplace for all employees, not just for a single demographic.
Sadie is an incredible person with an incredible story that started in a male-dominated career where she spent her early years working on improvements within the industry. Her persistence and determination to make the industry more diverse led to her becoming the Founder and CEO of Women in Data. Sadie's career journey centered around providing support and guidance to those around her and she certainly found her calling: empowering and mentoring women to find success in the world of data.
This episode is 100% about the human side and, through the recording process, Sadie indirectly contributed to a recent change in P3 Adaptive's own job descriptions. The conversation highlighted the disproportional labor divide in homes that was exacerbated during the pandemic. This led to a discussion on why so many women left the workforce during the pandemic and didn't return, often to provide care for children and other family members. It even highlighted how women seeking a job, might see expected travel as a requirement that, due to family responsibilities, might cause them to not apply, even if they are more than qualified for the position. That change has been reflected in our current career opportunities and can be found on the P3 Adaptive Career Page. Here's a hint, our travel policy has been updated. Thank you, Sadie, for the insight!
