Writing in Nikkei Asia, BCG’s Anis Mohd Nor asserts that Southeast Asian countries should embrace equity and address the different needs of women in the workplace. According to a BCG study, men in the Asia-Pacific region tend to leave their jobs for functional reasons, such as compensation and advancement opportunities, while women are more likely to do so for personal, flexibility, and caregiving reasons. To create a more inclusive work environment, says Mohd Nor, employers should enact inclusive policies that recognize the specific needs of women.
