In the last year, the volume of assets and sales income of many companies have increased, but this has not necessarily resulted from the increase in the volume of operations, but from inflation. Therefore, these companies have exceeded the threshold of the auditing obligation, and due to the previous large volume of work, the auditors have also had to leave many clients at the door.

Since 2003, the international network of business consultancies Grant Thornton has conducted an annual study to determine what percentage of seats on senior management is filled by women.

In every crisis, an optimistic view of the future should be combined with a bulletproof crisis plan that helps a business navigate the worst situations. A few simple tips help build a working strategy, said several experienced practitioners who were guests on the Äripäev business daily’s radio programme “Kasvukursil”.

The international business advisory network Grant Thornton has been conducting research on this topic for 17 years, and the results show that the number of female executives has gradually grown each year, but this year’s study revealed that only 31% of executives around the world are female.

World economic growth is slowing and it’s clear that this year will not be as good a year in the global economy as was last year. The results of a recent study show that companies' optimism regarding business success is slipping.

This year is the point where the economy peaked – it can’t get any better. We already see economic growth tapering off in Estonia, the EU and elsewhere. But will we lose our footing as we slide downhill or will we be able to softly glissade down the easy slopes?

In the last few decades, the topic of female executives has received consistent attention in the industrialised West.

Businesses both in and outside Estonia are very optimistic about this year’s outlook. But I recommend taking the rose-coloured glasses off and committing to making investments this year in order to improve effectiveness.

Looking at the bigger picture, we should ask whether our already scarce workforce will not increasingly seek employment abroad, as a majority of industrialized countries are also suffering from workforce shortages.
