Santander Bank Polska and the Polish Entrepreneurs Foundation (Polska Fundacja Przedsiębiorczości) are launching a series of workshops to support women in building successful businesses.
Apart from workshops run by experts, the project also offers educational grants and subsidies. It is open to women who are, or want to become, entrepreneurs. The goal of the “EmPOWERed in business” (“MOCne w biznesie”) initiative of Santander Bank Polska and the Polish Entrepreneurs Foundation is to motivate and support women in starting and growing their businesses.
“There is a gender gap when it comes to entrepreneurship. To address this issue, we are launching the “EmPOWERed in business” initiative in partnership with the Polish Entrepreneurs Foundation. It is an inspiring project open to all women who want to develop their skills, invest in themselves and broaden their horizons. We inspire one another, actively support female leadership development and encourage women to unlock their potential,” said Magdalena Proga-Stępień, Head of Sales and Distribution at Santander Bank Polska.
The eight online workshops will be run by inspirational women who will share their knowledge and experience.
On Thursday 2 June, Dominika Bettman and Anna Orska will talk about diverse businesses and their benefits. They will discuss differences in corporate social responsibility depending on the firm size and explain how sustainability relates to diversity in business. The workshop will be closed with a Q&A session.
A few days later, on 8 June, Anita Gałek will speak about the impact of the changing environment on the technology, business and society. She will explain how the labour market has changed over the years, which factors have the greatest impact on the society and which competencies a woman should develop to become a successful leader.
