Rosewood Foundation Launches 'Rise to the Table': Empowering Women Leaders in Food & Beverage - Food & Beverage Magazine

The food and beverage industry has a problem. Despite women making up a significant portion of the workforce in restaurants, bars, and hospitality venues worldwide, fewer than 7% of the world's top restaurants are led by women. It's a staggering statistic that reveals just how much untapped leadership potential exists in our industry. But here's the good news: Rosewood Foundation is doing something about it.

Richard Reeves: Why working-class men are facing the sharpest decline

It's certainly clear that the issues of boys and men haven't gone away in the last few years. If anything, they're getting even more attention, which is good when it's the right kind of attention. And what I've noticed is that, perhaps as a result of videos like this and of the broader conversation, is that the permission space to talk about the issues of boys and men seems to have broadened, whereas it felt like a very difficult thing to talk about.

Spain's government looks to reshape what it means to 'have balls'

In the government-funded video, actor Paco Leon asks: "Let's talk about balls... What does it mean to have balls? One way to have balls is to go shopping or make a Spanish omelette or dare to tell your colleague that if he sends another photo of that woman, you'll report him. Having balls means doing the right thing." But rather than being anti-men, the Ministry hopes reshaping the use of ball-based expressions can be a positive for everyone.

U.S. Open trophy replicas have been smaller for women champs than men. Not anymore

Australia's women remain an untapped resource in the hunt for productivity | Zoe Daniel

In 2022, at the newly elected Labor government's jobs and skills summit, economist Danielle Wood put women in the workforce front and centre. I can't help but reflect that if untapped women's workforce participation was a massive ore deposit, we would have governments lining up to give tax concessions to get it out of the ground, she said. As the CEO of the Grattan Institute, Wood had long been a powerful advocate for women to create a more productive economy.
