A few months ago I attended the “Hoge Hakken, Echte Banen” intern conference of my company. (Translation: “High Heels, Real Jobs”). It’s a yearly conference in which mainly women talk about women at work and specifically about women in management functions. Every year, there’s also a section in which three nominees present their idea to help more women to the top. That same day one of the nominees is selected as the winner.
Right after last year’s conference I started toying with the idea of sending in an idea. Now, a few months later, together with a female colleague, I started collecting and brainstorming about ideas. It’s not easy. A lot of the ideas have been suggested before. A lot of the ideas are just that, “ideas”. We have no idea of how to execute them, or the actual work is so thin, it’s not really interesting to pick up.
Anyway, if anyone has any ideas about how to get more women in management positions, please let me know. Who knows we’ll use them.
