Latin America. Having a mentor at work not only improves professional growth, but also personal growth. Having a person you trust, who can give advice and / or alternative solutions, is the model to follow, who based on experiences and knowledge helps to open the panorama of options.
In the meeting of women in the framework of InfoComm Show 2016, those who have been in the audio and video industry for more than 10 years were recognized, especially the experiences they have had throughout this time. The circumstances they have faced and how their path has been with the new generations to integrate them into this industry are recognized. His work as a 'mentor' is recognized
What are the characteristics of a mentor?
80% of companies say that mentoring improves the individual development of people and the achievement of goals, which has a great impact for companies. There was also talk of the cost of losing a good employee.
It was discussed why even at this time, with the integration of more women into the audio and video industry, inequalities are still perceived compared to men, not only economic but also in the incursion to a better job.
Many of these inequalities are due to the stereotypes that still exist, to the standards of evaluation, and to the few mentors that exist in these areas, especially when the mentors are men. What other barriers do you face?How will these situations be improved?
Now women are 47% of the workforce in a company, only 25% hold executive and senior level positions, but only 4.6% as CEO.
Let's make this situation change, there is still a long way to go and many barriers to overcome. Let's find a mentor or in any case be mentors of someone else.
