Bridging the gap

A study by McKinsey shows that companies that have a gender-diverse leadership team outperform other companies in profitability. Another by Harvard Business Review shows that teams with gender diversity have higher productivity. While the context changes, the message is- gender diversity is good for businesses! However, implementing such diversity is not always easy. It might bring out subconscious biases and cause friction in the organisation. As companies are looking to diversify their workforce, the onus falls on HR professionals to make this transition smooth.

Meet Our Certified Menterns

It was amazing! I learnt so many things like creating engagement on social media platforms. The 1:1 with mentors were super helpful. I learnt how to create Instagram ads, identify goals & do competitor analysis- so many things.

There was a lot of interactive sessions with Mentors. The Menternship I completed gave me a new perspective to how work has to be done. I truly enjoyed working with real figures & actual industry case studies.

My experience was great as I got a chance to explore subjects like Analytics which are difficult to look for. The Menternship allowed to get subject knowledge and see what goes behind the making and delivering of a product.

My experience was very useful as I learnt so much about Fleet Management & Digital Marketing connected to the real-world scenario. I learnt how to actually work with social media channels like IG & Facebook.
