SINGAPORE: The COVID-19 pandemic could affect female leadership in the workplace and boardrooms, according to an online panel discussion hosted by BoardAgender, an initiative by the Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations on Tuesday .
Ms Cairns, who was one of the panellists, highlighted Mastercard’s maternity and paternity leave in more than 200 countries that gives employees four months of full-paid leave.“As a manager, you’re not looking at a young woman thinking she’s going to have a baby. You’re looking at a person thinking they’re going to be a parent. That changes the playing field right away,” she said.
“We know that if there’s only one woman at the board table, it’s difficult for her to be heard. If there’s two, it gets better. But if there’s 30 per cent women, you get a different lens and conversation,” said Ms Nicola Wakefield Evans, chair of the 30% Club in Australia. “It’s not just the boardroom you have to worry about. It’s what your employees look like, what communities you’re serving, what you're actually saying to your customers out in the markets,” she added.
Asked what a gender inclusive workplace looks like, Ms Wakefield Evans said it’s ultimately “a safe place”.
