This PDW aims to increase the knowledge and importance of strategically enhancing social capital for female professionals who are traditionally excluded from organized networks. This workshop will provide insights into the evolving concept of social capital and its significance for career development and advancement in organizations, irrespective of industry. Participants will be afforded an opportunity to comprehend how social capital can add value beyond human capital, such as: give access to networks and future opportunities, build interpersonal relations and ties with sponsors, gain trustworthiness through networking, foster professional development, and therefore act as a tool for social inclusion.
