We help you leverage the contribution women can make to the success of your organisation
Overview
Women who are empowered, encouraged and unfettered by gender-biased business practices, show up and stand out in many positive ways. Given the opportunity and support, they become visionary, motivated, values-based and accountable leaders who encourage a positive work environment.
Besides the moral and societal argument for women to be empowered in the workplace, there’s compelling evidence to make a strong business case for women in leadership.
“Following a meticulous analysis of 300 companies around the world, we found a difference in return on equity of 47 percent between the companies with the most women on their executive committees and those with none, and a 55 percent difference in operating results.” Gender Diversity Report, McKinsey & Company.
If you’re looking to give your women employees a real opportunity to meaningfully contribute to your organisation’s success, then the IgniteHer Women’s Development Programme will resonate with you.
