I was delighted to share my thoughts with PwC Middle East for their new study: "Navigating the path back: Women returners in MENA" on career breaks, returnship programs and new ways of working in the future. Unfortunately, we lose many female leaders in businesses especially in the middle of their career journey. 🌟68% of women take career breaks at grades beyond entry-level. 🌟83% of women agreed that returnship programmes are important in influencing their decision to rejoin the workforce. 🌟US$4.3bn of total GDP gains could be generated across the nine surveyed countries by activating flexible working arrangements.   This International Women’s Day, I hope that this report will support initiatives across #MENA in adopting new legislation and actions to continue to enhance representation of female talent in senior leadership roles.     Read full report here: https://pwc.to/3IujUPy #InspireInclusion #IWD2024  #returnship  #diversityandinclusion  Zina Janabi Hani Ashkar Norma Taki

Women should work somewhere their presence and their ideas are valued and included. Inclusivity means accepting change, embracing empowerment, and creating a space where women feel safe to be themselves. The theme of this year’s International Women's Day 2024 is ‘Inspire Inclusion’ – something we at Cognique strive to do each and every day. #IWD2024 #inspireinclusion #InternationalWomensDay

Inspire inclusion, empower women. This International Women's Day (March 8th), we celebrate the power of inclusion, the strength in diversity, and the importance of investing in women to accelerate progress for all. In the coming weeks, we'll tackle four pervasive myths holding women back in the workplace. Let's debunk them together and forge a more inclusive future. #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2024 #InspireInclusion #EmpowerWomen

#IWD24 #InspireInclusion #8thMarch International Women's Day 2024 is all about inspiring inclusion. When we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion, we forge a better world. And when women themselves are inspired to be included, there's a sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment. Collectively, let's forge a more inclusive world for women. I firmly believe women can do and become anything they choose to. My firm belief is that aligning with our passion and purpose is what truly matters most. Not many people talk about this, but passion and purpose often change over time. #ChooseToEmbraceChange #ChooseToChallenge #PassionPurpose #DiversityInclusion

On International Women's Day, it's a must to reflect on the incredible contributions of women in the workforce. By championing diversity, breaking barriers, and fostering a supportive workplace, to create a foundation for success that benefits everyone. Hoping to build a future where equality and empowerment are the norm. Women empower women, women empower generations. #IWD2024 #BreakTheBias #equalityatwork

For International Women's Day 2024 and beyond, let's Inspire Inclusion! When we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion, we forge a better world. And when women themselves are inspired to be included, there's a sense of belonging, relevance and empowerment. The aim of the IWD 2024 #InspireInclusion campaign is to collectively forge a more inclusive world for women. When women aren't present, we must ask: "If not, why not?" When women are discriminated against, we must call out poor practice. When the treatment of women is not equitable, we must take action. And we must do this each time, every time. Organizations, groups, and individuals worldwide can all play a part - in the community, at work, at home, and beyond.
