How to deal with corporate environment?
Wednesday, 14 November 2018
Roshaneh Zafar,
Founder and Managing Director Kashf foundation was invited by the Placement
office to deliver a session to the graduating class of bachelors and MBA. The
session was aimed to train the students on how to deal with corporate
environment and challenges faced by women.
She started off
with telling the students how she left her job at World Bank to set up Kashf
foundation. She talked about the stereotypes and difficulties she had to face initially
and how she addressed those. Ms Roshaneh educated the students regarding the
hurdles women have to face in our society if they decide to enter the corporate
world. She talked about the positive outcomes of women participation in the
workforce; better opportunities for women
contribute to broader economic development for society as a whole. She also
talked about the fact that women need to look for mentors, push themselves to
seize new opportunities, take risks and overcome self-doubt in order to grow personally
and professionally.
She ended the session by
emphasizing that men have to play their role in making conducive work
environments for women. Overall we need a cultural shift where men
and women are working equally to bring a positive change to society.
