Connecting Women To Empower Change

A diverse workforce is good for business and also for advancing sustainability and inspiring innovation.

• Greater job satisfaction A good gender balance, produces work environments where people are more engaged, more productive and happier as well as improving their overall health and quality of life.
• Good for the environment A workforce that is engaged and satisfied will be vital to addressing the climate change challenges ahead. Research from the Bank for International Settlements has found that diversity in the workplace could help mitigate climate change, as companies with more women in managerial positions acted more efficiently to curb emissions.
• Added value for business partners A diverse and inclusive team not only benefits employees and the organisation but also equally importantly enhances services and adds value to business partners. In a diverse team there will always be someone with a similar background to that of their business partner, who understands the local market, lifestyle and customs. Diversity also enhances creativity, adaptability and problem solving, thus adding value and innovative solutions.
