Progress in the workplace has seen women achieving remarkable milestones, yet the journey to leadership remains a path less traveled. The key? Flexible and hybrid work policies that genuinely support the balance between career ambitions and life’s demands. But it’s not just about the policies on paper; it's about cultivating a culture where these practices are actively lived and encouraged at every level. As we aim to diversify leadership, understanding and adapting to the evolving needs of our workforce is crucial. Let’s make the workplace a realm where everyone, regardless of gender, can aspire to and achieve leadership. #LeadershipDiversity #WorkLifeBalance #InclusiveCulture #VisionaryLeadership #GenderInclusive Dr. Hala ElMiniawi London Intercultural Center (LIC) London Intercultural Academy | LIA Dr Nomonde Mabuya Peggy Lambert

Women in the world of work have made major strides, but organizations need to take action for that progress to extend into leadership roles. Establishing flexible and hybrid work policies enables women to balance the often conflicting but mutually valued responsibilities of work and life. However, written policies are not enough. Organizations must create a culture that supports and promotes their workers' appropriate use of such policies. Employees are listening and watching for an indication that the expressed culture is real and something lived at all levels. People want both a good job and a life well-lived. As organizations look to fill and diversify their leadership talent bench, the changing expectations and needs of the workforce must be considered. https://lnkd.in/gPzX8NNk

I have to disagree with this research. I have never conceded on either. Women are fully entitled to be paid well for the skills and expertise they bring to the table without having to trade their wellbeing or personal life for it in the process. That said, the responsibility that comes with Executive and Leadership positions naturally require more from individuals so the question is how can we move away from the reductive approach of trade-offs to a more expansive approach of making Leadership roles: MORE trust-based. MORE empowered. MORE distributed. MORE output focused. MORE fairly accessible to everyone. What do you think? #Leadership #womeninleadership #womeninsales #commercialleadership

Interesting article on Rethinking Leadership Role Structures for Women: Gallup finds women’s interest in senior leadership increases with experience, but the overall percentage still trails that of men. Moreover, mothers (37%) are more than twice as likely as their male counterparts (17%) to have had to decline or delay a promotion because of family obligations. #worklifebalance #leadership #gendergap #promotion #careerprogress

I work with extraordinary women who feel unseen to elevate their status. Move from being a spectator IN your life to being the creator OF your life.

This research is significant when you consider workplaces increasingly hiring women. The question is: what does great work-life balance mean, and are organisations ready to accommodate it?
