Women’s Month provides us with a stopping point that invites us to observe the current gender reality in the employment market.
According to Aya Lachmi, organizational consultant and occupational psychologist, founder and CEO of the consulting company AL Consultants, “To mark Women’s Month, we conducted a survey among 78 of our business clients and examined the situation regarding quality employment of women, with an emphasis on managerial and technological positions. Although 75% of the respondents in our survey believe that there is no gap between HR’s perception of women’s skills and the management’s perception, the remaining 25% feel that there is indeed a gap. In the context of preliminary barriers there is reason for optimism. According to the SNPI report, we see positive changes and a narrowing of the gender gap in career choices “.
