the time and effort . It is also important to classify how the mentorship would work , who would drive it and what consequences are there should the mentee decide to not proceed ?
Transformation for
Township Female Practitioners When it comes to building a collective real estate , it would be imperative to have both genders working and building together . This is not due to lack of trust , but it is due to knowing the reality and the need for a collective collaboration . The other option would be to have women empowerment programs that specifically deal with property matters , to target increasing the number of women in the industry . It is important to keep in mind that our industry really needs transformation but equally important to desist from the other gender , who may also be in a disenfranchised position due to the colour of their skin . Build them all up , and then single out women for specialisation and incremental growth .
Here are some of the solutions that can help create a sustainable transformation framework :
• Thorough interviews
• Pre investigate needs
• What areas would they work in ? Are those profitable ? Is there high turnover ?
• Programs to carry them through the first 2 years
• Committed workplace experience programs
• Monitoring and evaluation of these programs
• Constant re-engineering of such programs to go with the current times
• Transparency - have an accessible database and videos of successful candidates . This brings accountability to the attendees who have taken up space to be trained as well as coordinators who are tasked with making these programs work , make these programs so transparent that anyone can virtually view and make informed decisions about what went wrong . This would help with ensuring that programs , that cost money and time actually benefit the industry and contribute towards increasing the quality of practitioners .
