About us

According to the Commission For Employment Equity Report, Black women continue to be underrepresented in leadership positions in South Africa, the same situation is echoed in the USA as per the Lean-in Women in the Workplace report. Our mission at Black Women in the workplace is to increase the representation of black women in leadership positions. Our vision is to be the catalyst for the representation of black women in Corporate leadership to match the demographics in the workplace. We help black women navigate workplace bias at the intersection of gender and race in the workplace, position themselves for leadership positions and be effective in their leadership. We also assist companies to create a pipeline of black women leaders and facilitate corporate cultures that allow Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to flourish. We do this through Consulting, Coaching, and Training programs aimed at black women and their employers

    As the Global Talent War is heating up, South Africa 🇿🇦 needs to up the ante to retain critical skills and top talent --- According to digital outsourcing and consulting firm Strider Digital, South Africa is among the UK’s first choices for talent scouting. According to the firm, South Africans are outsourced due to their high standard of education and experience, work ethic, diversity, culture, and time zone. “South Africa is home to a highly educated and skilled workforce, with many individuals holding degrees in IT, software development, business and marketing,” said business development consultant at Strider Digital Bjorn Annegarn. “Our country has been favoured as a fast-developing outsourcing industry for a few years now. “In 2020, McKinsey named South Africa the second most attractive Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) location in the world and predicted that over the next few years, the sector would grow by 3% per annum,” he added. Strider Digital’s CEO, Annabel Dallamore, also noted the allure of South Africa’s work ethic and hours. According to OECD data, the average South African works 43.3 hours per week. This puts them at the fifth highest in the world. However, it is also generally known that many workers work hours well above the maximum limit stipulated by labour law. This strong and dedicated work ethic results in workers who blossom in fast-paced, ever-changing environments and are always willing to adapt, which is a very favourable characteristic, noted Dallamore. “South Africa’s work culture aligns well with that of the UK. “Professionals in South Africa enjoy collaboration, are open to diverse perspectives, and observe working constructs like being on time and prepared. Still, in the same breath, they are flexible too,” she said. #leadership #southafrica #braingain The Future Leader Forum see the full story at https://lnkd.in/d9UYJYNQ
