The secret of a company's success is not only about motivation, vision, or strategies. The key to success is the company's equal employees. For this reason, we are a company that has been acting with the principle of egalitarianism in production since 1989. As ASPEN, we attach importance to women's employment power. To this end, we would like to reflect our pride in our current workforce on March 8, International Women's Day. We want to draw attention to the problem of inequality in our country and the world. Let's look at the impact of the female employment rate on company success this week.
Why 8 March?
The women don’t see the place and value they deserve in business life from the past to the present. It caused the formation of Women's Day by Exactly 54 years after the breaking point on March 8, 1857. The strike launched for better working conditions killed 129 women in a textile factory in America. However, women are a part of society, they are as successful as men in business life and they have all the skills needed to advance in their careers. Therefore, women's roles in business life are significant and necessary opportunities should be given. However, it is sad that there are current problems in the recruitment, promotion processes, and salary equality of women in many areas today.
As companies, we have many crucial duties to combat these problems, equalize women's workforce, and ensure that women are more involved in business life. For this reason, in a male-dominated field such as the construction sector, we keep our current female employment rate at a high level and make a difference with our female-employee ratio. We make up 23% of our employees, surpassing the 0.9% percentage in Turkey's Women's Employment and Entrepreneurship Report.
Impact on Company Success
Studies show that women are more successful in business life than men. There are many useful reasons for this. First of all, women are more organized, disciplined, creative, and can think solution-oriented. These features enable women to be more effective and productive in business life. This success of women in business is also a significant advantage for companies. It will enable the company to progress more disciplined and target-oriented.
Firms should take steps to increase the employment rate to give the necessary importance to the female workforce. They should offer various opportunities to benefit from the talents of female employees. It should create opportunities such as mentoring programs, education and training opportunities, career development programs, and flexible working hours to support the advancement of employees in their careers. Because the career success of female employees will create results that will be beneficial not only for companies but also for customers.
It should not be forgotten that where there is equality, there is justice and development. We support the success of our female employees in business life and hope that other companies will support developments in this direction.
