Description

In the west today, women make up half of the workforce. Unfortunately, the common trend has been that, for women, their male colleagues are promoted at a much higher rate. Women offer great work ethics and bring something different from men to the workforce, but many times it goes unnoticed. In this workshop, you will learn about how organizations can develop women leaders, about the benefits of women in organizations, as well as advancements for the future of women. You will learn how women in the workplace cannot only benefit the women themselves, but also the organization they work for.

With the Women in Leadership workshop, your participants will learn how women are changing the workforce. They will gain a new perspective on the workforce, and what benefits can come from hiring and promoting women to higher positions.
