📢 Attention, I don't know who needs to hear this but for Recruiters, Hiring Managers, and Leaders and people who hire people.... 📢
It's time to shift our perspective. Enough with viewing people, especially women, merely as candidates. Instead, let's focus on the skills and talents they bring to the table.
What's in your checklist when hiring for a role? Do you doubt a woman's time management skills? Consider this: for many women, every day is a juggling act—balancing roles as daughters, mothers, wives, and then, striving to succeed as leaders.
Let's stop pigeonholing women based on outdated stereotypes and instead, create space for them to express their frustrations. I strongly advocate for breaking down the barriers between work and personal life. While we may not need to share every detail, it's vital to acknowledge the challenges we face outside the office.
Don't suffer in silence. If you're grappling with relationship issues, whether with your spouse, in-laws, or parents, don't hesitate to open up to your colleagues and superiors. Transparency fosters understanding and support, crucial for maintaining well-being in the workplace.
It's time to dispel the fear of speaking up to our bosses and upper management. Remember, there are only two scenarios: if your boss is indifferent, it's a red flag. It's essential to seek environments where your well-being matters.
Let's create workplaces where everyone feels valued, understood, and supported. Together, we can break down barriers and foster a culture of empathy and empowerment.
