Beyond Tokenism

We asked a community of learning leaders what the most tokenistic gestures were on Women's day and the list goes as such - pink roses, spa treatments, potted plants, movie tickets, foot massages.

Not bad at all in themselves but if they are tokenistic (defined as "the practise of doing something only to prevent criticism and give the appearance that people are being treated fairly", thank you Merriam-Webster), one day of celebration does nothing to create more inclusive workplaces.
