Women today are contributing to technology and the eCommerce industry more than ever before. No doubt, we see women today taking on more responsibilities, new and enhanced leadership roles in many disciplines. Thus DigiCommerce acknowledges women’s role in leading the way in eCommerce, by conducting a series of webinars about Women in Ecommerce. In the webinar, we will hold a panel discussion with industry-leading women experts tackling today’s most important topics in the world of eCommerce, followed by a live Q&A session.
Some of the topics we are going to discuss in the upcoming webinar are: Female Leadership and Mentorship in the world of eCommerce; Work-life Balance; Workplace Culture; Ecommerce Trends; Innovation and Transformation in the ecommerce industry and many more!
Power of Mentorship & Leadership
Women leaders have a responsibility to empower and lift up other women. Why? Because mentored women are statistically proven to be more successful in the workplace, than non-mentored women. They rise to higher positions faster and with fewer roadblocks than women who do not have a mentor.
According to Forbes, research shows that successful CEOs reached the top because they sought out mentors along the way. In a survey of 1,250 top executives, two-thirds reported having a mentor. 29 % of respondents earn more money, or have a higher income than their un-mentored colleagues. Likewise, mentored women are reported being happier than those who did not have mentors. Its also noticed that in the shopping retail business, women tend to hold more prominent leadership roles than before. According to Digital Commerce 360 research study, women hold up to 40% of leadership roles, in the top eCommerce retail companies!
Today, if we look closely, we find out that businesses with more female presence are more profitable, according to The Peterson Institute. However, it’s noted that women run only 4.2% of those Fortune 500 companies!
As a matter of fact, eCommerce made it easier for entrepreneur business women nowadays. This is because eCommerce provides them with the flexibility to balance their lives around work. The industry has become more accessible for women running businesses, from home or on the go.
