Hire Reliable, Proactive Talent
A permanent employee is a person employed for an undetermined period of time, having no agreed date of termination. This type of contract is terminated by either the employer (upon dismissal) or the employee (upon resignation) upon notice.
Section 198B(1) of the Labour Relations Act (LRA) defines a fixed term (or duration) contractor as a worker where the employment contract terminates on:
Hiring skilled women, particularly mothers, is not just about diversity, it is about driving stronger business outcomes. Research consistently shows that gender-diverse teams outperform others, boosting innovation, problem solving, and profitability.
Women bring unique strengths to the workplace:
They graduate from universities in greater numbers than men, giving employers access to a broad and highly educated talent pool.
They enhance collaboration, creativity, and communication, often excelling at building cohesive teams and drawing out the best ideas from others.
They foster healthier, more people-centred work environments, as they tend to prioritise collective success over individual recognition.
When these strengths are combined with the qualities of mothers, such as exceptional prioritisation, adaptability, resilience, and the ability to bring out the best in people, the case becomes undeniable. Skilled moms are resourceful leaders and adaptable professionals who pair expertise with real-world wisdom.
In short, hiring skilled moms is not only the right thing to do, it is a strategic advantage for any organisation that wants to grow.
