Female staff members of Linkage Assurance Plc have been told of their importance in the subsector.
Some experts stated this during the International Women’s Day celebration in Lagos.
They noted that if their hidden abilities could be explored without sentiments, the women would add alot of value to the economy and society at large.
Speaking on the theme: Each for equal, the General Manager, Marketing, Linkage Assurance, Mrs. Joyce Ojemudia, called on the women to redefine their career and launch themselves into higher responsibility in their professions.
Mrs Ojemudia urged the women to goals, be focused, have clear vision, which they must be committed to, and take action.

She advised them to have mentors for guidance and advice.
Among the speakers were Modupe Marc-Dawodu, who spoke on: The challenges facing the 21st Century women; Mr. Rajiv Sharma, Management leadership skills; Dr. Lekan Adelakun, Dynamics of women’s health and stress management and Mrs. Abi Longe, who also spoke on Productivity and performance to achieve corporate goals.
The speakers, while agreeing that women are disadvantaged in many ways, including managing career and family, emphasised the importance of women overcoming these to make success in their careers by exhibiting superior knowledge, by virtue of what they deposit or invest in their brains.
They agreed that women should invest in every aspect of their lives while also mastering the art of impression management, as that would give them the opportunity to be considered along their male counterparts for any position.
On the theme of the conference, the speakers said it was apt to stimulate women to know that they are not inferior to men, and could achieve so much if they pursue their goals conscientiously.
