PWN Paris Newsletter February 2019
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Just ahead of
International Women’s Day, we would like to highlight a survey
by Accenture saying that company culture and programs are crucial
to fostering diversity and filling in wage gaps. Are we finally
reaching the goal in France? Unfortunately not! There are still
differences in terms of salaries, and retirement; the stereotypes of
inequality remain prevalent. Much remains to be done, even if the
French government is now
committed to equal pay. The recent law proposed by Muriel
Penicaud, French Minister of Labour, aims to enforce actions and check
achievements. However, we are just at the beginning of the journey,
even though we see some progress regarding women’s access to
management positions. Let’s not give up!
At the dawn of the
third millennium, is it fair? is it healthy to neglect such potential?
The fight against discrimination is primarily a matter of justice and
equality. Significant advances have recently emerged, a change in
attitudes among business leaders is undeniable and we see a real
awareness. However, we must now take action, promoting programs and
concrete actions for diversity, making gender diversity a reality in
the French economy. As Mae Jemison said,
"It’s your place in the world; it’s your life. Go on and do all
you can with it and make it the life you want to live."
Entrepreneuship: It is quite simply
obvious that we need to develop our entrepreneurial spirit, as only
30% of start-ups are created by women. So, spread the word that
our Prix de l’Entrepreuneure
Responsable is an opportunity to dare to be your own boss. The
application deadline is March 15, 2019. What is our
ambition for entrepreneurship? Change the world through a sustainable
project.
Mentoring: As the first French women's
multicultural and multi-sector professional network, we at PWN believe
that we can be the agents for change. In this spirit, we are
launching, on February 20, the first pilot gathering
men as mentees and women as mentors. Together, we will see and
understand where we need to evolve, what the attitudes and programs to
be initiated are, in order to beat the stereotypes and break the glass
ceiling to achieve a real balance, that will be beneficial for both
competitiveness and innovation.
Congress
2019 – “Talent, Value yours” will take place on
June 12, and reflects our theme of the year,
“Talents and Jobs of Tomorrow”. During this special day, you will
meet experts, understand the challenges of tomorrow, as well as
imagine and accelerate your own professional career, build your
strategy, collect gold nuggets and reveal your talents. Book
your seat now.
Keep in mind that
networking is key to professional life. To accelerate your career, PWN
Paris offers numerous opportunities, bringing together multi-talented
women, across sectors, in an international community of more than 30
nationalities. Take a look at all the planned events
and book your calendar.
At PWN we believe
that the success is in our hands. "You become what you believe." a
very good piece of advice from Oprah Winfrey.
With our warm
regards,
