'The lack of women in senior positions is an issue that starts at tertiary-level educational institutions which find fewer women applying to study technology related subjects and even earlier at school.'
TweetShareShare The debate on diversity still rages on, even as underserved groups clamor for representation in government and in the corporate world.
However, it’s more likely that a company can achieve diversity in both gender and ethnic realms if its management also reflects talent from different backgrounds. Even as companies tap the same pool of talent for the workforce, many untapped talents and skills waste away due to reasons that are not even attached to their skills. For example, women have been disadvantaged while harboring skills and talents that could benefit different industries.
Diversity in leadership Even as the world speaks about diversity in the workplace, the conversation should go higher to the leadership of communities and organizations. There is no reason why CEOs, Team Leaders, Managing Directors, Politicians should not represent the diversity which they lead. It added that: “For private sector organizations operating in Kenya to not simply continue being effective but in fact enhance their effectiveness and productivity in a global economy, their top leadership and management should leverage on the diversity of their employees.”
The ripple effect of having diverse representation in leadership is immense. Young girls can be inspired that they are up to the task in any industry vertical; the disabled will know there are no boundaries they can’t overcome; people from different races and religion will know they are valued in the society.
Senior or leadership positions will not be handed over to people, simply because they are less represented. It will go hand in hand with the advantages they offer the organization or company.
