       Women’s Leadership: Barriers 
       and Opportunities  
   Qualitative research revealed the following barriers to females assuming leadership 
   positions within the company:
   •   A belief that women prioritize their family life over their professional roles; 
   •   The fact that there are fewer women with engineering / technical qualifications and 
       experience (a prerequisite for some management roles); 
   •   A perception (amongst both women and men) that women lack the confidence 
       required to lead 
   => EVN is currently undergoing a major restructuring - An enhanced focus on 
   gender equality can help EVN to improve productivity through making the best 
   use of the talents of all employees, regardless of gender.
