I came across the following article yesterday.
Well, this is a very interesting study, as it provides us with interesting findings, supporting the need for empowering gender equality in businesses.
Working in a company which applies gender equality at all its levels, i would like to share the belief that nothing compares to the feeling of being given the same opportunities and respect which is given to male colleagues.
That’s the key to success, because it allows us to be more creative, productive and efficient at every project. So, please, dear men-driven companies, do not underestimate your women colleagues and you will be surprised by the results!
