Sanofi Group Turkey Helps Women Entrepreneurs In Turkey
Sanofi, an international healthcare provider, prides itself on gender equality. Companywide, 45.7% of its employees are women. While economic participation for women is on the rise in Europe, opportunities for women in Turkey are declining. In fact, women representation in the Turkish workforce is less than half the European average.
Since Turkey is an important operating center for Sanofi, the company backed an ambitious program designed to develop and mentor Turkish businesswomen. To design and deliver the program, Sanofi Group Turkey worked with KAGIDER, a nonprofit organization founded by female Turkish entrepreneurs.
Sanofi covered the costs of the program and its promotion to young women across the country (reaching over 13 million people). KAGIDER used its knowledge and insight into the challenges women face in the workplace and jobs market to help design the training that addressed these specific needs. KAGİDER members (many of whom are women who run their own businesses) and Sanofi employees volunteered as mentors to participants. KAGIDER delivered the training (with additional training in the healthcare and pharmaceutical sector from Sanofi).
As a result of Sanofi’s help, the program received 423 more applications than it had in 2010. To ensure those with the most to gain from the project benefitted, the program selected those with the most potential to advance as well as those from deprived backgrounds or low income families.
Great Communicators Leave Nothing to Chance: They Always Connect the Dots
You know, I love the old adage that goes something like this:
“Why lead a horse to water, when you can get the milk for free!”
Okay, old adages confuse me.
New ones too!
But, here’s the message of this newsletter: finish off your thoughts when you are trying to induce specific behavior in someone.
So many of the CEOs and managers I work with complain that they don’t feel they should have to exactly “spell it out for them.” I say they do (and you do as well) if the goal is more success influencing the actions of others.
“They” ( you know..”them”)can never be really sure of what you want of them, unless you go to the trouble of telling them.
Let’s go through several communication scenarios and see the difference in going some of the way, going most of the way and then actually finishing off each episode.
