Findings

In the Twenty‐first century the business environment has become extremely competitive and continuous improvement is no longer an option; it has become a necessity. One area where organizations of any size can create changes is in their utilization of human resources. People are a company's greatest asset. Changing outdated structures and even more archaic attitudes can help to attract, motivate and retain the employees who have the vision, skills and determination to adapt to a constantly changing world. Assessing potential when appointing or promoting staff; creating flexible organizational structures which will help all employees to achieve a better work‐life balance; recognition of women's different career trajectories and developing intrinsic motivation in employees are all ways in which organizations can find and hold onto the treasure of human resources.
