Why hire female leaders. 🌟 Embracing Gender Diversity for Greater Success 🌟 According to McKinsey & Company’s report, the most gender-diverse companies are 25% more likely to achieve above-average profits. Having more women in senior roles leads to higher performance. Think about the benefits if more women led businesses: increased jobs and higher wages for everyone. Investors recognise this and advocate for greater female representation to enhance shareholder value. Companies with more senior women attract top talent. In fact, 61% of women consider leadership diversity when job hunting, and 67% seek positive role models. Let's champion gender diversity in leadership – it’s a win-win for all! 🚀 #GenderDiversity #Leadership #BusinessGrowth #WomenInLeadership

Women are powerful agents of change, and the far-reaching benefits of diversity and gender parity in leadership and decision-making are increasingly recognized in all spheres. Still, women continue to be vastly under-represented in decision-making in politics, businesses, and communities. Yesterday at FHS, we had a robust discussion on inclusivity, representative to representation with our experts, Liny Antwi and Susan Anderson. They are the ones who make gender and ethnic diversity a priority—by setting aspirational goals for the proportion of women in leadership roles, insisting on diverse slates of candidates for senior positions. While simultaneously developing mentoring and training programs to foster those who want to grow within their position. The case for balancing the power equation in leadership has never been more clear. But progress in women’s leadership will not happen automatically. It comes from a great perception that has the power to improve and appreciate diversity. That’s why yesterday’s discussion was an eye-opener. Pursuing a rising topic as women in leadership shows our commitment to elaborating, breaking the ceiling and enriching the diversity’s value. Special thanks to our amazing hosts Bianca Maria Cantor and Ta Hoang Kim as well as the dynamic audience and the empowerment they brought to the table. #futurehospitalitysociety #diversityinclusion #inclusive #womenempowerment #leadershipinsights

Let’s Make Women in Leadership the Norm, Not the Exception. This powerful statement by Justice Ginsburg resonates deeply in today's professional landscape. As we continue to advocate for gender equality, it's crucial to focus on how we can actively encourage and support more women stepping into leadership roles. Here are some actionable steps we can take: Mentorship and Sponsorship: Establish mentorship programs specifically targeted at women. More importantly, we need sponsors, leaders who will not only guide women but also actively advocate for their advancement. Leadership Training: Invest in leadership development programs for women. This includes training in negotiation, public speaking, and strategic decision-making, tailored to address unique challenges faced by women in leadership. Inclusive Recruitment Policies: Companies should consciously create gender-inclusive job descriptions and ensure diverse hiring panels. It's about creating an environment where women candidates are encouraged to apply for leadership roles. Addressing Unconscious Bias: Conduct workshops and training sessions to make employees aware of their biases. An inclusive workplace culture begins with understanding and addressing these inherent biases. Creating Visibility: Actively showcase stories of women leaders within the organization. This not only celebrates their achievements but also serves as inspiration for others. As a community, we need to move beyond acknowledging the need for more women in leadership roles to implementing concrete steps to make this a reality. It's not just about filling a quota; it's about recognizing and leveraging the diverse perspectives and skills women bring to the table. Let's join hands in making women in leadership roles a norm, not an exception. I’d love to hear your thoughts and strategies on this crucial topic. #WomenInLeadership #GenderEquality #InclusiveWorkplace
