Empowering women in the workplace
Empowering women is something every organization should be focusing on as it definitely aids in the overall success of businesses and organizations. Besides the growth and success of individuals, women can bring their own individual strengths and qualities to your organization's table.
Over the years, there have been various normalized barriers and obstacles ranging from gender bias to gaps in pay, hindering the growth and empowerment of the female workforce. When one talks about women empowerment, one should be focusing their efforts on curating a highly inclusive environment where opportunities are the same for all, despite their gender.
Recognizing and acknowledging the existence of the various challenges that a woman should overcome at any workplace should be the first step towards creating an environment that enables success, despite gender. The gender pay gap is a critical factor that ranks among the top reasons for creating a glass ceiling. This is detrimental not just to them but also to the organization as denying them the chance to reach their true potential would lead to dissatisfaction and hampered productivity. Equal pay for equal work is slowly becoming implemented but has to be enforced to reduce attrition and improve productivity.
Creating equal playing fields without a gender bias is often overlooked but shouldn't be as better abilities and achievements should be the driving factors to decide a person's career growth, and never their gender. Providing the same training and development opportunities for all should be a standard within any organization, aiding the employees to develop and improve their skills and areas of expertise.
Adopting a hybrid work culture with flexible hours and having a paid parental leave policy can highly benefit a company as the employees would be more dedicated to their job when supported at an organizational level. Creating a work environment that helps every employee balance their work and life always leads to a higher retention rate and improved job satisfaction.
As an organization, always have a culture that promotes inclusiveness and diversity. An empowered workforce brings in their own ideas confidently, which can result in better innovation and creativity.
In conclusion, achieving gender equality, creating a more inclusive workplace culture, and enabling them to build stronger, more successful businesses are all critical goals achievable by empowering the women in your organization.

With Denzel Washington, Rami Malek, and Jared Leto playing the lead roles, The Little Things, the 2021?Neo-Noir?Psychological?Crime Thriller was written,?directed, and co-produced by?John Lee Hancock. The movie is set in Los Angeles of the early 90s and follows two detectives who are investigating a string of murders, a string of murders which lead them to a strange loner, the potential culprit.
The film received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for the cast, but criticism of the screenplay. For his performance, Leto received Best Supporting Actor nominations at the?Golden Globes?and?Screen Actors Guild Awards. Honestly, the stunning performances by the lead actors are reason enough for one to dive into the movie.
The movie starts unwinding as a girl driving on a highway gets?stalked?by a motorist. After stopping at an abandoned gas station, she catches the attention of a passing truck driver and escapes her possible attacker. However, not many women are lucky enough.
