Johannesburg, 30 August 2020 <\/strong>\u2013 If South African companies hired and promoted women at the same rate as countries such as Norway, the economy could grow by 30 percent according to a recent study by a leading research company.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cTo those who think that gender equality only benefits women, the numbers tell a different story,\u201d says Shaun Rademeyer, CEO of MultiINET Home Loans, \u201cdata makes it clear that gender equality is the engine for the global workforce. Greater female participation in the workforce can make a greater impact on the economy.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to McKinsey & Company, gender diverse companies around the world are 15 percent more likely to show profits than their competitors. Just by adding more women to the workforce, the global GDP could go up by 26 percent according to McKinsey Global Institute.<\/p>\n

This data shows the profound impact that greater inclusivity could have for individuals as well as companies\u2019 bottom lines, South Africa and the global economy.<\/p>\n

MultiINET Home Loans Operations Director, Nadia Isaacs agrees. \u201cThe more that women who are educated can push their potential in the workplace, the more we can increase the number of pay cheques and get the economy going. When people have more to spend, everyone benefits,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen there\u2019s the inclusion part,\u201d Isaacs added, \u201cwhen women and men work together, studies show that they actually come up with better solutions, which is the basic premise of diversity in the workplace.\u201d She explains that innovation comes from the friction and interactivity of the people from all different backgrounds: male, female, introvert, extrovert, different ethnicities, generations and so on. \u201cThere\u2019s so much power in that,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Rademeyer believes South Africa and in particular the property and bond origination sector still have a long way to go and that companies must look within their organisations to ensure that they\u2019re both opening doors for women and ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for them.<\/p>\n

Rademeyer explains that mentorship plays a huge role in advancing women in the workplace. \u201cA lot of men are in still in leadership roles and need to mentor women and sponsor them to get them in to more senior positions. It is also important that women take on the role of mentor and sponsorship to other women once they get there,\u201d Rademeyer says.<\/p>\n

\u201cReach way down into your organisation to find not only your direct reports but also the women who are three levels down, who you believe will be the next generation of leaders, and mentor them,\u201d Isaacs states.<\/p>\n

When asked what advice she has for other female property professionals who are finding it difficult to establish themselves and thrive within the industry, Nadia replied: \u201c Most importantly, they should not isolate themselves \u2013 they should actively seek people, men and women, with whom they can engage to get advice and the necessary support.\u201d<\/p>\n

The property sector has become increasingly inclusive during the past two decades and there has been an increase of women role players in the sector, yet in the bond origination sector there has been very little to no transformation, apart from one visionary company, MultiNET Home Loans.<\/p>\n

MultiNET\u2019s commitment to gender parity and transformation has shown great financial results for the company as they have weathered the Covid -19 storm and June 2020 set a new company turnover record. In July 2020, they achieved a R1 billion in home loans granted..<\/p>\n

Gender parity in the property industry still has a way to go. As a recognised leader in the bond origination industry, MultINET as an organisation are committed to building leadership competencies and increasing opportunities for female employees.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have established ourselves as a truly independent mortgage company in the market focused on sharing with our people and transforming the industry for all to benefit from,\u201d says Rademeyer in closing<\/p>\n
