Barriers remain for women in SA workplace – brand expert | Fin24
While there are no institutional restrictions on women in the workplace in South Africa, there are a number of barriers for women in business, according to Donna Rachelson, CEO of Branding & Marketing YOU and author of the book"Play to Win: What women can learn from men in business"."Yet the gender gap is still massive.
Women bring new skills to the workplace and help to boost productivity as well as the size of the workforce. Banks which have more women in executive positions have larger capital buffers, fewer non-performing loans and lower risk indices, research shows. "If countries with low gender equality improved their equality ratings, they could see their economies grow by an average of 35%."She also points out that 88% of countries worldwide have restrictions against women in the workplace embedded in their constitutions or laws.
