Results | A practical and result oriented e-learning module to enable organizations and managers to:
· Identify and understand the gender challenges and inequalities impacting the economic empowerment of high and middle level female managers in the private sector, by considering both the system/societal level (specific bias and mental mechanisms, social codes and behaviours, systemic dynamics, etc.) and the individual one (self-limiting mental mechanisms and behaviours, etc.). · Detect the new and growing opportunities that the changing culture and market offer to women managers at global and more in detail at local level. · Promote and implement gender transformative transitions, shifting working environments from the identified limits to tangible solutions and detected opportunities. |
