This matter holds deep significance for me; we seek companies that can employ women in their 40s or 50s not as a CSR initiative, but because these women are skilled managers and brilliant thinkers. They are individuals who are committed to giving their best.

International Women's Day 2024
It's not about hiring women because they are women; it's about recognizing talent where it exists.
Women bring unparalleled skills and perspectives to the table. This isn't a compromise; it's an opportunity.
Let's shift the narrative. Hiring the best means considering everyone.
Let's make it a no-brainer to choose talent, regardless of gender.
Have you heard about the “Theory of Missing Women”?
Spoiler alert: It isn’t just a theory;
It highlights the fact that we live in an unequal world. ❌
Despite excelling academically & securing jobs, many women leave the workforce after marriage or childbirth. This results in a steady decline in the number of women in the workforce.
👉 Consequently, women are “going missing” from the corporate world.
One powerful solution lies in supporting women founders. ✅
Why? Research shows that women-led companies are more likely to prioritise gender diversity and implement policies that support work-life balance.
So, how do we bridge this gap?
📍 By creating an environment that supports and promotes women entrepreneurs, we can address the imbalance in corporate leadership and ensure talented women remain active in the professional world.
--------
Investing in women founders doesn’t just foster innovation and diverse perspectives; it is also a boon to the economy.
According to a study by Catalyst, companies with more women on their boards outperform their rivals with a 53% higher return on equity.
To make the world more empowered, supporting women in business is essential.
What do you think?
How can we further support women in leadership and entrepreneurship?

How can we support women in the workplace?
"In our collective journey towards a future where every woman can thrive, it’s necessary to take decisive steps to reduce the barriers that women face in the recruitment process. This involves actions such as:
* Committing to gender-balanced shortlists and interview panels for every role
* Developing robust programs to help create a pipeline for aspiring women professionals
* Providing stretch assignments and acting role opportunities for women."
