In the ever-evolving world of hospitality, one thing I have come to realize is the incredible power of women in this industry. While we have seen great progress, there’s still work to be done to ensure women have equal opportunities to shine and lead. At ELIVAAS, we strongly believe that diversity is key to success, and empowering women in leadership roles is an essential part of that. I have had the privilege of witnessing the unique perspectives, emotional intelligence, and innovative ideas women bring to the table. Their contributions enrich not just our teams, but the entire guest experience. For me, it’s not just about hiring more women; it’s about creating a supportive environment where they can grow, thrive, and have their voices heard. This means equal opportunities, mentorship, and actively challenging any barriers or stereotypes that stand in the way. Empowering women benefits our entire industry and society. When we give women the platform to lead, they excel in ways that transform the workplace and beyond. I am committed to breaking down these barriers and fostering an industry where talent and hard work know no gender. I would love to hear your thoughts—what are you doing to empower women in your organization? #WomenInLeadership #HospitalityIndustry #DiversityAndInclusion #GenderEquality #EmpowerWomen #Leadership #CareerDevelopment #FemaleLeadership #HospitalityCareers #WomenInBusiness #GenderParity #Empowerment

In the dynamic world of manufacturing, women are increasingly making their mark, representing about 20 to 25% of the workforce. This shift reflects a changing landscape, where gender diversity is not just a buzzword but a reality. What's truly inspiring is the rise of women in leadership roles, with 1 in 4 senior positions now held by women—a testament to their capabilities and contributions. Women bring a unique perspective to the manufacturing industry, enriching teams with diverse ideas and approaches. Their presence in senior roles is a sign of progress, showcasing the industry's openness to talent, irrespective of gender. This trend is not just about numbers; it's about recognizing and valuing the skills and expertise that women bring to the table. Unilift aims to be at the forefront of this change, recognizing the importance of gender diversity in driving innovation and success. By fostering an inclusive environment, Unilift empowers women to excel in all aspects of manufacturing, from operations to leadership. As more women break barriers and take on pivotal roles, the future of manufacturing looks brighter and more inclusive than ever before. - - - - #WomenInManufacturing #BreakingBarriers #DiversityInIndustry #GenderEquality #WomenLeaders

The McKinsey “Women in the Workplace” report highlights the persistent challenges women face in career advancement, especially in leadership roles. It underscores the barriers such as underrepresentation, burnout, and biases that hinder progress, with women of color facing even greater obstacles. The report emphasizes the need for more effective diversity and inclusion strategies, workplace flexibility, and stronger leadership pipelines to support gender equity. It also calls for organizations to implement structural changes to improve women’s representation at all levels of leadership. #WomenInTheWorkplace #GenderEquality #Progress #Equity #Diversity

👩🏽💼💪🏽 The 2024 Lean In "Women in the Workplace" report is a must-read for anyone committed to advancing women in leadership! We are at a critical juncture for women in leadership. This year’s study from Lean In + McKinsey & Company highlights both the progress and the challenges we continue to face in the workplace, especially women of color, LGBTQ+ women, and women in mid-level positions. 🔍 Key findings that demand our attention: ✅ Burnout is rising: Women are leaving companies at unprecedented rates, often citing burnout and lack of support as key reasons. ✅ Advancement barriers: Women are still facing a broken rung at the first step to management, creating a domino effect that limits representation in senior leadership. ✅ Equity backslide: As DEI initiatives vanish in many organizations, women of color are feeling the brunt of this setback, with fewer opportunities for advancement, less mentorship, and a decrease in overall support. 📢 This report underscores why we must continue to fight for programs like Bonfire. and for inclusive environments that not only support but actively uplift women in all spaces. Now more than ever, leaders need to truly champion equity and empower the next generation of women leaders. I encourage you to read the full report and join me in committing to tangible actions that close the gap, create opportunity, and drive meaningful progress for all women. It’s time to move beyond the data and deliver on the promise of change. 👉🏽 Read the full 2024 report here: https://lnkd.in/gnN4N4dA #WomenInLeadership #bonfire #WorkplaceEquity #LeanIn2024 #LeadershipMatters #Inclusion #WomenInTheWorkplace #allrise

What stood out to me most in this study is the disconnect between organizations investing in #manager training but not providing the necessary autonomy or resources (like time and budget) to put that learning into practice. As a leader, I make it a priority to focus on team #engagement while balancing the demands of a rapidly changing business landscape. The result? I have a team that loves their work, trusts each other, and consistently delivers great customer experiences. Extremely low turnover and frequent requests from people wanting to join or collaborate with my team are proof that this approach works. From my experience, the gap between what companies say is important and what they actually prioritize daily leads to burnout and lost trust. People pay attention to actions far more than words, being authentic and realistic in working toward a better future is better than pretending issues don't exist. 

The latest “Women in the Workplace” report published by Lean In found that women in the workplace are disproportionately falling behind, with 14% fewer women making the transition, resulting in women holding only 39% of manager roles globally. This seemingly small gap has a cascading effect, impacting women's representation and leadership opportunities at all levels of the organization. The problem lies not in the glass ceiling but in the “broken rung” - a crucial step on the career ladder when an employee transitions from individual contributor to manager. Elizabeth McFarlan Scott is sharing three foundational requirements for organizations to fix the broken rung. #internationalwomensday #internationalwomensday2024 #leanin #womeninleadership #womenintheworkplace

This year’s International Women’s Day theme is #InspireInclusion. One big way we can inspire inclusion in the workplace is by promoting more women—>to managers, directors, executives, and C-suite leaders. Because women don’t just deserve a seat at the table…they deserve a seat at the head of the table! What are other ways can we #InspireInclusion in the workplace?
