Women Edition: 5. World Automotive ConferenceErsin KARA
worldautomotiveconference.co.uk
Existence of women in an industry is the thing that makes the organization holistic and the work flawless. Recent studies on gender diversity say that there is a positive correlation between the presence of women in corporate leadership and performance in a magnitude that is not small. Companies, that understand that it is not a positive discrimination but an indispensable necessity to achieve diversity, and reserve seats for women from top to bottom positions, are the ones which climb the ladder in competition more quickly.
Although women hold only 30% of the entry-level roles in technology related positions, it is getting better by the day. As for the automotive industry, women participation in European Union in manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers is less than 25% while they are only about one fourth in
US automotive industry despite the astonishing fact that nearly two thirds (65%) of new car buyers are women. Rates are almost the same in white-collar segment of Turkish automotive industry as well.
To welcome and thank for their existence in the World Automotive Conference 2018, we dedicate this month’s WAC Bulletin to existing and future women participants of the industry.
To understand how women see and manage the industry’s transformation, how they adapt to the changing world, and face challenges during the transition, we conducted interviews with some of the ladies who will participate in WAC 2018 conference as speakers. Their perspective also showed us that enormous change has only began and it has way to go within a fiercely competitive environment.
Hope you enjoy each of these valuable thoughts and insights,
Not all of the speakers were able to participate in the Bulletin and we will share their views in the upcoming issues.
The inaugural World Automotive Conference 2018 proudly hosts global leaders of industry from all over the world in October while we invite ladies to Women’ Breakfast to be held in October 5th at 8:00 a.m. Though we want to enjoy the conference with as much ladies as possible, we have limited number of seats available for the breakfast, hence it will be first 50 ladies that register to WAC will be able to gain a seat.
