Bridging the Gender Gap - The Unexplored Potential for Women in Clinical Research

In a world where science and technology grow at an exponential pace, a strong and diverse workforce is more critical than ever. SRG has over three decades of experience in life sciences and is fully committed to playing a key role in bridging the gender and pay gaps in the field of clinical research. 

Here's how we're making a difference:

3. Providing access to training and mentorship

We firmly believe in the power of training and mentorship in accelerating one's career. That's why we provide access to industry-leading training resources and pair our candidates with mentors who can guide them every step of the way. By ensuring women have the necessary skills and support, we can help them navigate and excel in the clinical research field.

To this end, SRG works with STEM Council for Good which partners with diverse non-profit organizations and STEM companies to create pathways for everyone considering a career in STEM. They invite allies and job seekers to come together to share experiences, provide support, connect through networking, and continually educate each other. By bringing together those at all stages of experience, including career pivoters, veterans, military spouses, recent graduates, and experts at every level, this community creates a platform for all those who are underserved or underrepresented, creating new opportunities.

4. Promoting women in leadership roles

To truly bridge the gender gap, seeing more women in leadership roles is essential. As part of our staffing strategy, we make a concerted effort to advocate for female candidates for senior positions within clinical research. By promoting women in leadership, we not only help to shatter the glass ceiling but also provide role models for future generations of women scientists.

Conclusion

Women in clinical research are invaluable assets, and recognizing this fact is key to bridging the existing pay and gender gap. By nurturing an environment of inclusion, respect, and equal opportunity, the clinical research field can not only welcome more women into its ranks but also thrive on the unique insights and innovations they bring. The future of clinical research is one of gender equality and diversity, in which every contribution is acknowledged, appreciated, and adequately compensated.

SRG’s 30-year journey in the life sciences sector has given us deep insights into the industry's workforce dynamics. We are committed to using this knowledge to bridge the gender and pay gap in clinical research. By fostering diversity, advocating for fair pay, and promoting women in leadership roles, we are helping create a more inclusive and equitable future for clinical research. In doing so, we are not only improving lives today, but also inspiring the women researchers of tomorrow.
