Other Added - Why Women Earn Less, and How to Avoid the Gender Trap
I’ve been around the workforce for quite a few years - 32 years in fact. I’m currently happily employed as a Principal Consultant : Occupational Health & Safety (OHS) in a major government department and often wonder how I came to be in this senior role. One thing I can say with certainty is that when I left school, this was not on the horizon!I do remember spending a lot of time thinking about likely career paths, with the expectation of becoming a Clinical Psychologist and I completed a university degree with a major in Psychology.

The field of headhunting is a very challenging one when it comes to finding and recruiting top sales and marketing talent…whether they be executive, mid-level, sales management, marketing management or front line sales and marketing producers. Searching for these types of top candidates is no easy task.If your company is trying to find the best, make sure to bring in an experienced sales and marketing recruiter who can help you. They are worth their weight in gold, and their fees are easily justified. By outsourcing to a search firm, you can reduce your hiring time, improve the process and avoid the risk of mis-hires.I see lots of companies that have made mis-hi
In civilised countries around the world, equal pay has been enshrined in law for over 40 years. Yet even today women in professions are being paid roughly 75 cents for every dollar men receive, for the same work!
Over a lifetime of work, a woman can expect to lose about $455,000 due to unequal pay. That’s why women have less to set aside for their future, and why they struggle to build up solid asset bases. That’s also why women receive smaller superannuation payouts. Astoundingly, by the time a woman retires, her superannuation pension will be only about 50% of the average man’s!

Does anybody really care about time?” Start your next meeting with this song and then share this mathematical formula to help the speakers for the next time.The average person speaks 150-200 words per minute. During a presentation we should slow that pace down to about 125 words

If your resume is prepared but there are one or more major blemishes on your document, it can seem like a panic situation. Maybe there's a hole in your work history, or maybe one of your previous jobs ended on bitter terms with your former employer. A bad spot in your resume isn't the end of the world, and it won't reduce your chances of getting the job you want to apply for.

This inequity in payment rates doesn’t just disadvantage women--it also disadvantages their children and their partners. When women are not paid what they are worth, their whole family suffers.
And in fact when women are generally undervalued in this way, we end up with a society that both subtly and overtly disadvantages and disables women to the extent that they are simply unable to contribute their rich potential to their families, companies, social groups, and the wider community.
In corporations where women are conspicuous by their general absence from boards and positions of senior management, those companies perform some 15% worse than companies that have even just 2 women on their boards. The proof of women’s worth is there for all to see, all the way to the bottom line.
The economic empowerment of women is a cause we should all be working for because it is the only way women will gain the space and the indepe
