Papua New Guinea owned Paradise Foods company believes women are just as equal as men decision makers and currently half the company’s executive team is made up of female employees.
Paradise Foods Company with an 80 per cent majority Papua New Guinea shareholding through the Nambawan Super Limited and 20 per cent through Comrade Trustee Services has 50 per cent of its females on the company’s Executive Leadership team.
And that includes the chief financial officer, group manager – people and performance, group manager – supply chain, group manager – Chocolate (Queen Emma) & Spice. Other senior leadership roles include finance manager – reporting and analysis, finance manager – operations, trade marketing manager, human resource manager and the quality
assurance manager.
“With 50 percent of the executive leadership team being women in Paradise Foods, they engage as equal partners in the leadership team and contribute to developing and implementing the strategic objectives of the business in their specific areas of expertise leading to the success of the company,” says Michael Shields, CEO.
They are kicking goals for the business!” the Company stated.
And complementing gender equality in the workplace, Paradise Foods Company is as well penetrating the traditionally perceived men jobs.
Currently the men dominated positions held by women at Paradise Foods include plant manager, supply chain manager, production engineer, electricians, production supervisors, packaging supervisors, process workers and machine operators.
“Paradise is an equal opportunity employer so regardless of gender or any other area of potential difference, and in line with legal compliances, we strive to employ and promote the right person for the right job based on ability, potential and performance.” Jane Wickham, GM People and Performance.
Company reward systems at various levels are the same for males and females in same positions.
We have been extremely fortunate in recent times to be seen as an employer of choice and have been able to attract a number of female talents to fill key roles,” Paradise company stated.
“We are aware of the cultural challenges that women face in PNG in terms of education and other stereotype attitudes and behaviors of our society that disadvantage women not only to be gainfully employed but to succeed in the workplace and be promoted to management and executive level jobs.
