Le donne oggi rappresentano un vasto serbatoio di talento nel mercato del lavoro e costituiscono oltre la metà del mercato dei beni di consumo. Sviluppare il talento femminile è cruciale per affrontare le sfide del ventunesimo secolo. Studi dimostrano che un miglior equilibrio di genere nelle aziende porta a risultati superiori, ma le donne continuano a essere sottorappresentate in ruoli di leadership. Le imprese faticano a rispondere alle esigenze delle consumatrici e il divario salariale tra uomini e donne persiste a livello globale. Gli attuali sistemi aziendali e le culture organizzative non sono più adeguati alla complessità della forza lavoro e della società moderna. È necessaria una rivoluzione culturale per riconoscere che le donne non sono un problema etico, ma una necessità economica. Con le loro attitudini e capacità uniche, le donne rappresentano un'enorme opportunità per la crescita sostenibile dell'economia. L'analisi degli errori delle imprese nella gestione della componente femminile offre spunti per migliorare la posizione delle donne nelle aziende. Avivah Wittenberg-Cox, CEO di 20-First, e Alison Maitland, giornalista esperta di donne e lavoro, offrono una visione innovativa e stimolante su questi temi, invitando a un cambiamento necessario e urgente.
