Globally, we have observed that there are challenges for women employees to grow up the ladder in the middle and senior management levels across various industries.
With some guidance for women on various aspects of professional and personal development through various sessions can help bridge this gap by mutual learning and inspiration.
PMI South Asia recently announced the launch of WEC 2.0, which aims to tackle the various challenges faced by women in both domestic and professional spheres.
The initiative emphasises on the key points such as -
🔹Empowerment through Strength : Highlighted the need to empower women, including those with disabilities, by fostering their passion and confidence.
🔹Collaborative Efforts : Stressed the importance of working together—both women and men—to create meaningful change.
🔹Regional Focus : WEC 2.0 is a culmination of insights from 11 South Asia conferences, bringing together diverse perspectives.
🔹Addressing Challenges : The initiative aims to address the challenges women face, with a particular focus on the role men can play in supporting and empowering progress.
This launch marks a significant step toward a more inclusive future for women in the region.
One of the PMI Mumbai Chapter’s initiatives is this WEC group known as “WOW – Women of Wonders”. This initiative provides women volunteers a platform to learn, interact, share and engage the women professionals to facilitate encouragement to take up leadership roles under the series called "HOW TO WOW (Transforming Mind)". Under this series WOW-WEC team conducts activities like Webinars, Panel Discussions, Mentoring Programs, etc. to provide platform to women to empower them.
This is a small step towards women empowerment at workplaces.
