🌟 Have you ever considered the impact of biases when women decide to return to their careers after a significant break? Age and gender should never be barriers to professional growth, yet these biases persist. It's time we, as a society, address and break down these hurdles. In this episode of ⁠BasTalk,⁠ we're diving into the challenges most women encounter during career comebacks, especially by men and the ecosystem around them. Challenges Faced: 💼 Career Gaps: We explore the challenge of career gaps, how they occur, and why they shouldn't be seen as detrimental to a candidate's potential. 🚺 Ageism and Gender Bias: We uncover how women, particularly those above 40, often face age and gender-related stereotypes that affect their job prospects. The Impact: 📉 Economic Consequences: We discuss how biases against women seeking employment can have economic repercussions, not just for the individuals but for society as a whole. Solutions: 🤝 Inclusivity and Sensitivity: We emphasize the importance of creating inclusive workplaces and understanding the value of diversity. 🌐 Support Networks: We'll also highlight the role of support networks, mentorship, and empowerment programs. Call to Action: ✨ The power to create a more inclusive and supportive workforce lies in each of us.
