Professional women gaining more control in the workplace

A survey of Irish female professionals and business owners has revealed that two-thirds of working women said they need to be more confident in the workplace, with a quarter noting that men are paid more at their places of work.

The Network Ireland survey found that one in four women do not see themselves in the same job in five years time, and a fifth admit to answering emails outside of office hours. Half of company owners said that growing their bottom line, paying themselves more and employing more staff are amongst their key ambitions over the next three to five years.
