‘Reskilling, upskilling workers needed for gender inclusion’

Flexible work arrangements may have sustained businesses during the coronavirus pandemic, but upskilling and reskilling employees are needed to allow workers, especially women, to cope with the resulting digital shift, according to an employers’ organization.

During a webinar organized in part by the Management Association of the Philippines and the Philippines Business Coalition for Women Empowerment (PBCWE) on Tuesday, Jose Roland Moya, Employers Confederation of the Philippines (ECOP) director, said these arrangements not only ensured the sustainability of enterprises, but also promoted gender equality, diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
