Texas Children’s joins the global celebration of International Women’s Day on March 8 by saluting our women team members, and honoring the many ways you drive our mission forward – breaking boundaries and achieving milestones every step of the way.
According to the most recent demographic data, women comprise 83% of our One Amazing Team! That includes:
- 75% of our leadership positions,
- 64% of our physicians, and
- 34% of our Board of Trustees.
To take a closer look at how our team breaks down by multiple dimensions of diversity, check out “Texas Children’s By the Numbers” on the Learning Resources page of our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) website.
#BreakTheBias
The theme for International Women’s Day 2022 is #BreakTheBias in a call for all to join the movement for a gender equal world.
Bias is defined as a positive or negative inclination towards a person, group or community that can lead to stereotyping. And whether that bias is deliberate or unconscious, it can impede progress.
As part of expanding our DEI commitment, Texas Children’s continued its inclusive leadership journey in 2021 with leaders assessing and reflecting on their own unconscious bias. This was followed by a 6-hour interactive workshop on ways to confront and challenge bias by acting with courage and creating connection.
Visit the DEI website for more resources to watch, read, listen to and explore – including a free test to help you learn and discover areas of conscious and unconscious bias in your own mind, and ways to confront and challenge that bias as we move forward into tomorrow, together.
