Women often encounter silent and invisible barriers in the workplace due to prevailing norms, which undermine their sense of belonging, reduce psychological safety, and frustrate their overall purpose. In environments dominated by male norms, women frequently experience a lack of support and feelings of isolation. Additionally, traditional power structures often fail to address the needs of women today. These experiences impact women’s performance, confidence, and well-being, which can, in turn, lead to broader organisational issues such as low engagement, career stagnation, attrition, and decreased team performance.
