Women are 'more motivated' in the workplace
Date: 18/03/2010
Women believe they will not get the top job because firms fear they will leave to have children, according to British surveyed by a careers site specialising in jobs paying over £50,000.
In the poll by TheLadders.co.uk, it was understood from an interview with 500 British bosses that women perform better at interviews, have better presentation and understand companies and cultures better, while also being more thorough, affable and better at multitasking, Fresh Business Thinking revealed.
On top of this, it was also noted that female candidates also have improved communication and motivation skills over their male counterparts, highlighting how incentives and recognition schemes may affect genders differently.
Derek Pilcher, the managing director of TheLadders.co.uk, asserted that women may be intimidated by the male-dominated working environment, and that things need to improve in both the mentality of women and the approach of companies to remedy this issue.
This week, the Art of Engagement opened its doors at the National Bowl Milton Keynes and was aimed at improving the levels of engagement of UK employees.
