Women celebrate success
This new edition of Business Arena’s Most Admired Business Women Awards Gala recognized women’s success and achievements in the workplace, their creativity and leadership and their vital contribution to the success of business and banking activities throughout Romania.
Looking at a broader picture, the opportunities and challenges facing women in business have been subject to a number of recent international studies. Grant Thornton’s Women in Business 2020 report notes that among nearly 5,000 businesses surveyed in the International Business Report (IBR) research, the proportion of women in senior management is the same as the year before.
"The lack of movement in the proportion of senior women between 2019 and 2020 does not necessarily reflect a failure of businesses to take positive action in this area. Last year’s uplift rode the wave of attention generated by the aMeToo movement and gender pay gap reporting, and numbers have since steadied," the report said. It added: "Another factor in the levelling off could be that the ‘easy’ promotions have been made. Research from McKinsey found that the biggest obstacle women face on the path to senior leadership is at the first step up to manager. For every 100 men promoted and hired to manager, only 72 women are promoted and hired. This ‘broken rung’ results in more women getting stuck at entry level. Unsurprisingly, men end up holding 62% of manager-level positions, while women hold just 38%."
The report also showed that "ensuring equal access to developmental work opportunities and creating an inclusive culture are the most common initiatives aimed at improving gender diversity, both at 34%. Meanwhile, offering unconscious bias training is the least common initiative.
All actions have increased in popularity since 2019, with linking senior management reward to progress on gender diversity rising the most in the last year, climbing by five percentage points. Nonetheless, 22% of businesses globally still take no action to ensure gender diversity."
Coming back to last night's awards gala, the event was organized in partnership with CEC Bank, OTP Bank, Garanti BBVA, Idea Bank Romania, Apulum Porcelain Factory, Ecooking, Romaqua Group Borsec, Via Viticola, Chocoland, World Class Romania, Kanal D, Trends by Adina Buzatu, Aida Events, Casa Anke, Ramada Bucharest Parc Hotel.
