Statement of Need

Research shows that companies with a greater share of women on their boards of directors and executive committees perform better financially. Despite this considerable benefit, many African governments and companies are still missing out on the full benefits of gender diverse leadership teams. Despite improvements and a rising number of women in leadership positions in Africa, women do not necessarily have greater power. In the private sector, more than half of senior women occupy staff roles rather than line roles. In the public sector, approximately half of women cabinet ministers hold social welfare portfolios, with arguably limited political influence, that do not open doors to top leadership roles.

This programme focuses on helping organizations reap the advantages of gender diversity. The programme also explores practices that support an organization’s ability to engage and retain gender diverse teams

Who Attends

This workshop is aimed at managers from profit, non-profit and governmental organizations, company leaders, women looking to advance into senior leadership, heads of departments/divisions and or executives, human resource personnel, diversity and inclusion practitioners, organization development managers, workplace trainers, change agents and deans.

  • Translate diversity into increased productivity, greater innovation, better   decision-making, and higher employee retention for your organization;
