Women leadership

In a fiercely competitive environment, such as the workplace, one can often be bogged down with various daily challenges. In such an instance, it always helps to have someone that can make your stay a little less taxing, providing the right degree of motivation from time to time. Here's where we delve into the presence/existence of a mentor in your workplace because a mentor can ease those tumultuous moments that new employees may experience.

Unfortunately, it is a fact that women employees are prone to a higher degree of challenges than men. Women employees, who are new to a domain, require guidance, support, and encouragement from time to time. This may include sufficient knowledge transfer, and imbibing required skill sets to commence work. This will help them to steer ahead with newfound confidence and assurance.

Such instances are also applicable in several industrial organizations where they have the majority of the male workforce. This imbalance in the ratio may tend to cause unforeseen challenges in the way tasks are executed.

While many women employees may not be wholly comfortable or honest with a male mentor, a female mentor can break communication barriers. She can encourage complete honesty and openness amongst the female mentees. This alleviates stress in interpersonal relationships and work-related matters, bringing about unity in the organization. Some workplaces have specific rules against certain forms of interaction, which can cause friction between male-female mentoring relations. These are the exact instances where a senior female mentor could mitigate all that tension and execute the task of successfully achieving co-existential harmony.

In a given workforce, where a lot is expected out of an employee, there are various pitfalls around the corner. Women employees, in addition to working, have to juggle their commitments. While a male mentor can completely comprehend delicate issues, a woman mentor is more likely to empathize and offer motivation in times of doubt and fears/insecurities.

Successful start-ups must not undermine the contribution of factors like gender equality in their success story, making workforce ratio equality and positive reinforcement for employees vital for employee retention.

It is time to realize the importance of a robust women's workforce in your organization.
