TheSitDownWomenomics Week with Dudu Msomi

by | Aug 4, 2020 | The Sit Down Podcast, The Sit Down Womenomics | 0 comments

In today’s edition of #TheWomenomicsWeek, we look at practical ways in which women can break down barriers to accessing leadership positions in the workplace.

Having good workplace policies, processes and support inplace without a strong commitment to inclusion of women is a huge set back. The world of work needs more female leaders – from running organizations to running countries. The eradication of gender inequality will lead to a more inclusive and effective society.

Through this series, we are calling on organizations to include women, offer better pay as well as training and development opportunities.

Yesterday, we started The Womenomics Week series which aims to call on South Africans, especially corporates to make a concerted effort to accelerate women’s participation in the economy. We had HR Specialist, Tryphina Mopai, who highlighted the role of HR in enforcing change for inclusivity as well as what it will take to challenge company policies that promote gender inequality. Today, we look at practical ways in which women can break down barriers to accessing leadership positions in the workplace as well as creating platforms and spaces for further growth in male-dominated industries. Having good workplace polices, processes and support in place without a strong commitment to inclusion of women is a huge set back. The world of work needs more female leaders - from running organizations to running countries. The eradication of gender inequality will lead to a more inclusive and effective society. Through this series, we are calling on organizations to include women, offer better pay as well training and development opportunities.
