Executive Women’s News and Views

On of our regular interest panels is the ITSMF Panel discussion for women in Leadership IT Service Management Forum Women in Leadership panel is being organized now to discuss current ideas.

The world has changed in 18 months. Employees have changed their approach to work-life balance and the relative importance of being in an office setting versus a home office setting. It’s clear that people have been changed by the pandemic and have higher expectations of their employer to align with their values, enable work-life blend and positively contribute to our communities.”

  • 31% of employers are offering increased wages (ManpowerGroup).
  • 39% of employers are offering more flexible working schedules and 28% are offering more flexible working locations. ManpowerGroup).
  • 69% of employees who don’t work remote today would switch jobs if a new job offered remote work. (Monster)

What a great event he organized to bring together women’s focus on how to empower opportunity for professional women worldwide, from the entertainment and movie industry, in education, finance, STEM/IT Services.

Women make up 52% of support roles, compared to that of men making up 48% of Support Role contribution. We need greater education to empower to women. Advancing the ranks as a woman, you begin to observe the real disparity at the advancing management levels:

  • Manager, 89% men, 11% women
  • Senior Management, 92% men, 8% women
  • Directors of Research for example: 90% men, 8% women
  • Chief Information Officers: 92% men, 8% women
