Empowering Women: The Power of Gender Diversity and XY in Business Growth
The connection between gender diversity and business success reflects that through the active participation of women in the labor market, substantial improvements are generated at both the individual and macroeconomic levels.
In the current landscape, there is a significant positive influence of women in startups. The noticeable presence of women in executive and leadership roles translates into a significant increase in the performance and profitability of companies, reaching an impressive 16%.
On the other hand, in the Mexican context, the World Bank indicates that the massive incorporation of women into the workforce could boost the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by up to 22%. This statistic reveals the latent economic potential that is unleashed by promoting gender equality in the workplace.
Although there is still a long way to go, we are facing a scenario in which women's labor force participation has experienced positive growth, marking a historic milestone with a participation rate of 46.5% at the close of 2023.
At XY, we are committed to promoting women in prominent positions, recognizing that their talent and leadership significantly contribute to the growth and innovation of our company, which reinforces our conviction that gender diversity is a valuable asset.
Looking at the percentages in Mexico, we are proud to share our vision: we believe that by empowering women, we are building a path towards a more equitable and prosperous future, while also strengthening our network.
We recognize that inclusion and respect for diversity are key to the sustainable success of our company as we celebrate these advancements and remain committed to creating a business environment that enhances female leadership.
