Celebrating Women’s Month
As August
marks National Women’s Month in South Africa, this issue
of the MISA eDATA has a slight female bias, with
apologies to our much-valued male members, colleagues and
partners.
We look at why women make better bosses,
some common mistakes women make at work that sabotage their
careers, and look at some global businesses that were started
by women. We also include a topical article on Government’s
proposed retirement reforms and look at your not so average
POPI…
August was a busy month at MISA, as we had
our Regional AMGs as well as our Women’s Forum August Day
breakfasts in each of our Regions. For those members that
attended, thank you for taking the time – we do appreciate
it and enjoy interacting with you. If you didn’t make it
to one of our events this year, we hope you will be able
to do so next year! And do visit our
website to view some of the photos and our list of sponsors.
Enjoy this issue, and all the best until next time,
Martlé Keyter, CEO Operations
Motor Industry Staff Association (MISA)
