GUIDE

EMPOWERING THE FEMALE LEADERS OF TODAY

HELLO AND WELCOME

Women get burnt out of the workplace (and that needs to stop)

Women have always been at a disadvantage in the workplace, but now is time to focus on how we can reframe the business environment with women’s needs in mind.

With women leaders stepping down in staggering numbers from careers they have spent decades achieving, it’s hard not to feel like we’re regressing. The workplace has always been structured for men, and has only recently begun to focus on women’s needs, such as menopause considerations, period leave, or understanding mother’s need for flexibility through remote working.

Women have different biological needs and different expectations for a work/life balance, as often, despite both partners being in full time employment, women are still disproportionately burdened with household chores and child care.

This is before we even scratch the surface of the experiences women face at work, such as, questions regarding competency, assumptive delegating of hospitality tasks, emotional labour, unfair expectation to lead mentoring and diversity initiatives, all on top of performing their core roles.

We tend to ignore the exceptional burden placed on working women both in the workplace and at home. That has to change. If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that the business world can adapt to anything. So, it’s time for women to start putting their needs first and cultivating an inclusive environment for all.
