Synopsis

The Swahili term 'Ujima' means collective work and responsibility through principles and practice. For each individual to be able to obtain their highest potential, we must be committed to not just our success but the success of others. The definition and recognition of success require acknowledging and valuing intersectionality.

Practice Gap

Disparities persist in the promotion and recognition of female employees across the healthcare ecosystem. Implicit and explicit bias has been reported as a driver of this disparity. However, we are often unaware of our role in creating “glass ceilings” for ourselves and our female colleagues.
