SYDNEY, Sept. 7 (Xinhua) -- Although women from culturally diverse backgrounds have a wide range of unique skills that make them a key asset in the business sector, a new report from Australia on Thursday, has found that the vast majority are significantly underrepresented in major organizations.

Sponsored by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Google, Aurecon and Deloitte Cheap Jerseys Shop , the firms opened their doors to Groutsis and allowed her to speak to 230 culturally diverse women, who are emerging leaders within the organizations.

"Over 35 percent of our respondents, almost 40 percent identified that they identified with a bi or multicultural identity."
"Two out of three are multilingual and these are key markers of creativity and process and product innovation."
This is because the ability to seamlessly operate across different cultures and different markets is a "fantastic asset" to organizations, according to Groutsis, and can be utilized to gain traction into different markets Cheap Jerseys From China , client and customer bases.
In total, over 360 women participated in an online survey and around 50 took part in "think tanks" and focus groups across Sydney and Melbourne.

"What we found was that mentors, sponsors and networks within the organization and outside the organization, both formal and informal, were really key to accessing that senior leadership suite Cheap Jerseys China ," Groutsis said.
But at the moment, there are approximately 7,491 directors from companies listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and only 2.5 percent of them are women from culturally diverse backgrounds.
"Our women were shown to be really, really ambitious," Groutsis said.
"Almost 90 percent of the women we spoke with indicated that they see themselves in that senior leadership cadre in the next couple of years."
"So organizations need to pick up their ears to do things in a better way," Groutsis concluded.
