Women in business face several challenges, the most challenging being the struggle for gender equality. From maternity leave to the gender pay gap, women must be resilient to overcome these challenges.

One of the toughest obstacles women face is returning to work after maternity leave. Statistics show that 54,000 women leave their jobs after maternity leave, highlighting the systemic difficulties women face, balancing family and career. Employers must evolve to support women in this stage of their lives and careers to reintegrate them back into the workforce seamlessly.

The gender pay gap remains significant, with women earning just 80p for every £1 a man makes—an gigantic 40% gap. To create meaningful change, women must stand up for themselves, advocate for fair pay and equal opportunities to take control of their careers, push for change, and take action.

Resilience is the key to navigating these challenges. Bouncing back after each set back creates a stronger mindset, turning challenges into opportunities with persistence and determination.

Achieving work-life balance is crucial. It’s important to give attention to three key areas: career, family, and yourself. Striking a balance between these three aspects will help retain strength to suceeed in all three areas.

Women are making strides in business and tech fields, but there’s still room for more progress. Resilience, continuous learning, and persistence are critical as women continue to navigate their careers in business.
