This month we
are celebrating National Women’s Month and it poses the perfect opportunity to
reflect on the role of women in South African businesses.
According to the
2013
Grant Thornton International Business Report, women hold just over 25% of
top decision-making roles in South African businesses and the 2013 report
indicated that 29% of South African businesses aim to employ more women within
the next year. While government and businesses have to take responsibility to
further the role of women in business, owes still lies with South African women
to tap into their unique strengths as women to achieve in business as well.
Recent research
has shown that a female presence in executive positions for listed companies
impacts positively on stock prices which can boost a company’s performance. If
you would like to further your career to become an influential business women
in South Africa, we have some tips for you:
·
Never stop learning – further
your studies and expand on your skills where possible
- Make use of coaching, mentoring and training opportunities
- Take your time to build your reputation and pick your battles
- Understand the value of networking and start building relationships today.
