While our gender parity has progressed over the years in areas like life expectancy or higher education, Malaysia still lags behind on many fronts in women\u2019s empowerment: namely economic participation and female representation in positions of leadership.<\/p><p>Whether consciously or subconsciously (or both), we still live in a world where women bear the brunt of gendered stereotypes. These come in many dated forms: that a woman\u2019s primary role is to take care of the home, that pregnancy is a liability to a company, that a mother is incapable of balancing both a successful career and a happy family.<\/p><p>Inevitably, these misconceptions have bled into a world of work where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theedgemarkets.com\/article\/gender-inequality-malaysia\">72% of Malaysians<\/a> have witnessed or experienced gender inequality.

This is especially true for societies like ours; I find that the long-running struggles of Malaysian women go beyond just gender or marital status.<\/p><p>The struggles they face are <strong>layered<\/strong><em>.<\/em><\/p><p>Living in a country as wonderfully, culturally diverse as ours, Malaysian women are sometimes also confronted by an additional layer of bias: race and ethnicity. Additionally, due to being brought up in a more collectivist country, there is this strange expectation that they should be \u201cmore docile\u201d or \u201cmore giving\u201d \u2014 putting wider interests over their own, and even <em>at the expense<\/em> of their own.<\/p><p>It is especially important for workplaces to realise that these seemingly small incidents of gender-coded bias will add up, and that its consequences never stop at the individual woman. This contributes to widening the gender pay gap, limiting the representation of women in work and leadership, and worse: missing out on the far-reaching positive impact women can have on business and the workforce.<\/p><p>In a survey conducted by McKinsey in The United States of America, titled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/featured-insights\/diversity-and-inclusion\/women-in-the-workplace\">Women In The Workplace Year 2022 Report<\/a>,\u00a0 women leaders do more to support employee well-bring and foster inclusion. This is critical to any organisation because it improves employee satisfaction and ultimately, increases retention.<\/p><p>Greater gender diversity is not merely fulfilling a quota. It means more perspectives and more creativity, which fuels growth and translates to a more sustainable trajectory for businesses in any industry. Bringing a more empathetic and empowered workforce to the table, female leaders are also uniquely positioned to help connect businesses beyond a purely transactional level.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-17be8c84 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"17be8c84\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-75fe1c0b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"75fe1c0b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.12.2 - 23-04-2023 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/igcse.infinity.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-8237\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-71c8fd90 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"71c8fd90\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2814c386 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2814c386\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Empowering women at work starts from as early as recruitment<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7e29e98c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7e29e98c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Malaysia has already taken steps to support a more equitable and inclusive world of work for women, such as drafting the Gender Equality Bill and the very recent amendments to the Employment Act, which protects pregnant women from being unfairly dismissed from their jobs simply for being pregnant and also have their maternity leave days extended.<\/p><p>While this is a commendable step in the right direction, I still feel there is room yet for improvement \u2014 because these measures are reactive to issues that already exist in the workplace, rather than proactively nipping them in the bud. Having been deeply involved in recruiting solutions throughout my time in HR, <strong>I believe that the greatest push for gender equality at work starts from the very beginning of the funnel: even before the hiring stage<\/strong>.<\/p><p>It is imperative that organisations strive to make purely merit-based hiring decisions. To do this, every stage of the process \u2014 from selection criteria all the way down to the job descriptions \u2014 must be gender-neutral and skill-focused. Even a small sentence encouraging women and underserved communities to apply (which is very popular on platforms like LinkedIn at the moment!) can make a difference in diversifying the company\u2019s pool of applicants.<\/p><p>The team of recruitment specialists and interviewers must also represent the diversity they hope to see in the workplace. When fairness and inclusion are then constantly at the heart of their decisions, this can make a positive difference even when filling top executive positions! In fact, this was the very basis behind CXL\u2019s Executive Search platform, which is driving gender inclusivity and diversity in HR recruitment solutions.<\/p><p>Beyond representation in the recruitment stage, it is also vital that women are actively connected to female mentors and leaders from the onboarding process onwards. Opportunities for women in senior-level positions to take ownership of empowering other women in the workplace is a strong catalyst not just for their personal growth, but also for broader cyclical change. Moreover, the upskilling programmes and resources made available for employees should also take into account the challenges faced by women at work, enabling them to better navigate the very nuanced world of business and leadership.<\/p><p>Multinational corporations may find it easier to allocate resources to drive these changes (albeit with less flexibility), whereas SMEs and startups are more likely to implement more far-reaching but smaller-scale measures. Although the scale of implementation may be different depending on the size and nature of the business, what ultimately matters is that affirmative action is taken <em>now<\/em>.<\/p><p>It is no longer an if, but a must, in the transformation of employment for the better: closing the gap between companies and best-fit talents \u2014 <em>plus <\/em>the gap of gender inequality towards a more inclusive world of work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7edf1807 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7edf1807\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Author bio<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27c3767c elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"27c3767c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72fa242b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"72fa242b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Dhiva, the youngest member of the leadership team, has 8 years of experience in Executive Recruitment, Corporate Governance and Consulting within Market Leading Multinational Companies (MNCs).
