In the 147 of the January-February edition of Human Magazine, Vânia Esteves, Managing Director of SLOT Recursos Humanos, highlights the demand for talent in strategic sectors and the urgent need to promote gender equality in the Portuguese labour market.
In a scenario where talent shortages are a reality in various sectors, recruitment companies play a crucial role by innovating and diversifying talent sources, creating partnerships with educational institutions and retraining programmes. At the same time, promoting gender equality in the workplace is essential and requires a balanced approach that includes blind recruitment practices to mitigate bias, the use of data analytics to monitor gender trends and gaps, awareness programmes and continuous training, and the development of internal policies that guarantee equal career development opportunities.
To meet this challenge in our country, recruitment companies like SLOT HR must lead with innovation and sensitivity. By adopting inclusive practices, investing in training and using data to make informed decisions, we are not only addressing the talent shortage but also promoting gender equality. Success lies in aligning individual talent with principles of equity, building a diverse and resilient workforce..
