Companies that don\u2019t recognise the value of women in the workplace are missing out on opportunities. Along with the obvious benefit of doubling the size of their talent pool, having more women in the company can also improve performance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Research shows that women in the workplace (and gender diversity in general) and profit go hand-in-hand. For example, Fortune 500 companies with more women on boards do better financially while higher sales and profits are synonymous with gender-diverse teams.<\/span><\/p>\n

These are just a couple of examples regarding the benefits of more women within an organisation. However, profit isn\u2019t the only way that more women in the workplace can be beneficial, as we\u2019ll cover in the Pacific Prime UK article.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Benefits of Having More Women at Work<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Centre for Creative Leadership\u2019s<\/span> What Women Want study<\/span><\/a> dives deep into the topic of women in the workplace, covering women in the workplace statistics and so much more. A key finding of their <\/span>research shows that more women<\/span><\/a> in the workforce makes a company a better place to work for all.<\/span><\/p>\n

Not only does a higher percentage of women in an organisation predict less<\/span> burnout<\/span><\/a>, but more job satisfaction, organisational dedication and meaningful work as well. Companies that are looking for ways to improve employee engagement and retention should also pay attention, as more women in the workplace has a positive impact on that too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Workforces with higher percentages of women said that they were likely to stay with their employer for reasons such as enjoyable work, work-life balance and overall positive<\/span> workplace culture<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the<\/span> advantages of women in the workplace<\/span><\/a> don\u2019t end there. Experts say that women\u2019s effective communication skills improve collaborative work efforts, while their intuition, sensitivity and<\/span> emotional intelligence (EQ)<\/span><\/a> help create a balanced workforce. The list goes on.<\/span><\/p>\n
