#WomensMonth: Do female employees get enough opportunities at work?

Three in 10 feel they have to work harder to achieve their goals.

Whilst Singapore has made strides in achieving workplace equality, several women (33%) still experience challenges during their careers due to their gender.

According to a survey by Milieu Insight, over three in 10 (39%) female workers also feel that they have to work harder to achieve their goals because of their gender.

Despite being heard, only half of the female employees surveyed said that companies act on the feedback they give.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
