EMEA Recruitment is proud to be launching Women in Leadership initiatives for Procurement & Supply Chain functions in Switzerland.
Q4 2021 saw us host our first Roundtable within Procurement & Supply Chain, focusing on Women in Leadership. We explored the gender gap in Switzerland in the context of Procurement & Supply Chain leadership specifically.
Women represent only 30% of leadership roles in Switzerland, and under 5% of roles at VP level and above. We looked at statistics that demonstrated which industries and roles were more greatly affected, and discussed the main challenges to creating a diverse workforce and supporting women into leadership roles. We also explored the steps that can be taken to provide women with opportunities that will allow them to move into senior leadership positions.
Interesting topics ranged from:
We had some incredible feedback from the participants, and we would like to extend a thank you to all of those who joined us and a special thanks to our co-hosts, Alejandra Garcia (VP Procurement at DSM), and Pauline King and Varsha Asarpota (CIPS Switzerland).
In this initial session, there was an interest to further explore the topic of inclusive language and techniques to attract and retain women. We will therefore be rolling out some coaching sessions on this subject.
Diversity & Inclusion is high on our agenda at EMEA Recruitment; we would love for you to engage with us further in this area.
Please contact Charlotte Cruise, Senior Consultant, directly if you would like a full breakdown of the initial Roundtable, or to be included on the invites for the linguistics training or future events centred around Diversity & Inclusion and women’s careers: [email protected]
