Female Leadership – Success with more diversity in mid-sized companies

Medium-sized enterprises are increasingly realising the importance of diversity and female presence in leadership.

The awareness of the advantages of diverse teams and an inclusive business culture has increased notably in recent years. However, there is still a need and an urgent demand to create more diversity, especially in technical work environments.

 

Our experience indicates that female leaders with technical qualifications are still rare but bring great value to companies. In addition to their technical expertise and competence, female leaders bring remarkable leadership skills and innovative perspectives to the business, which can be essential for the success of a mid-sized company.

 

Why is the search for talented women in this field so demanding?

The trend is going up, but women in leadership positions with technical qualifications are still underrepresented. There are also deep-rooted prejudices and structural barriers making change especially challenging.

To successfully place women in demanding leadership positions, it is therefore essential to develop a thorough understanding of the specific needs and requirements met by women in this field.

 

What expectations and demands do women have of future employers?

Women appreciate secure and stable employment with a clear career path and development prospects.They value equality and recognition for their achievements as well as transparency in companies.
