In a year that sees Unichef dealing with more cases of women "standing up" for their rights than ever before it's great to celebrate the amazing role our female colleagues play in Hospitality.
Staggeringly, in 2015 when we started Unichef only 2% of our members were women. Today we are proud to say that it is now standing at 24% and growing,a sign of the great work we have done in making Unichef a safe place for female chefs to feel supported and cared for, a place where they feel equal and included.
The fact that women have brought our last 4 tribunal listed cases is testimony of the ever increasing empowerment that women now feel in our profession and the growing determination of women not to be mistreated in the workplace.
This can only be good for an industry starved of talent and diversity, and further proof that Inclusion, diversity, and stronger legislation are indeed the answer to the problems of recruitment and attraction to hospitality.
Let's all celebrate and embrace a brighter, safer and healthier culture where our women chefs are proud and that male chefs are proud to work alongside them.
