Gender equality is commonly known as a social justice issue, but is also a driving force behind higher business productivity and economic growth. Businesses which implement polices encouraging gender equality enjoy improved performance, organizational reputation, and the ability to attract top talent and retain employees. Studies analyzing these outcomes theorize that diversity brings together varied perspectives, and produces a more comprehensive ability to manage company issues, leading to improved decision-making. Furthermore, businesses paying attention to gender equality will be equally appealing to women and men, resulting in a larger talent pool. It can also retain talent, and avoid high staff turnover, the associated loss of specialist knowledge and productivity and the increased cost in hiring and training new employees. A business will also enjoy an esteemed reputation since many specialists recognize that gender equality is critical to an organization's success and is viewed as a baseline requirement for leading organizations.
In order to publicize the value of women in business and celebrate Vietnamese Women's Day in 2022, EuroCham with the Women in Business Sector Committee co-organize an event "The Business Case for Inclusive Leadership and Gender Equality".

More Information
Trang Vo
Country Representative at Passerelles numériques Viet Nam
Having worked in the education sector for more than 16 years, Trang has seen firsthand how education can transform young adults. Involving in every step of underprivileged youth’s development at Passerelles numériques Viet Nam, Trang works with her team to create programs to equip her students with occupational skills, thus helping them become confident IT professionals and independent citizens. In the spirit that everyone deserves to explore their potentials via a quality educational environment, Passerelles numériques aims to give chances to both male and female students to learn in the IT field which is witnessing the unbalanced gender rate in the labor force. With at least 50% female and 30% ethnic minorities students participating in the holistic industry oriented training program, her team is providing more diversity of human resources in the IT market. While following their female students not only internship period but also working as full-time employees, Trang realizes IT companies gradually have changed their mindset about the fact of having female members in technical teams, from reserving doubts about her students’ technical capacities to evaluate their performance equally and appreciating different perspectives and characteristics; as a results, the IT companies are welcoming more female interns or employees. Besides, Trang is particularly proud to see these young ladies proving themselves in team leader or project manager positions. The successful stories once again help to convince and encourage underprivileged girls about the chance to change their lives, breaking the endless circle of poverty that they have seen from their mothers and grandmothers. Trang feels very grateful to share the meaningful experiences with EuroCham members and hope that the sharing will support more for the equal gender initiatives being developed not only in IT but also in business.
