İSTANBUL (TR) - Gender inequality is one of the main problems that sectors in our country struggle with, as in the rest of the world. Especially when it comes to parenting, it is observed that women who are mothers or expectant mothers face various obstacles in business life. While many studies were carried out in the professional field to prevent this picture, a good news came from the real estate consultancy company RE/MAX Turkey. The company, which includes more than 4 thousand professional real estate consultants, announced that the number of female employees exceeded 1,900 people, approaching 50% of the employment.

Making a statement on the subject, RE/MAX Turkey Regional Director Murat Goldştayn said, “Making women more effective in the real estate sector and removing the obstacles they face are among our primary goals. We believe that the understanding that sees motherhood as a disadvantage should be a thing of the past. RE/MAX mothers are the most important parts of our family. Moreover, they have proven over and over again how real estate consultancy can be done at the highest level, both by taking time for themselves and breaking record after record. There are mothers who have been with us for more than 20 years, even mothers whose children grow up and work with us. Our aim is to make gender equality an integral part of our industry by providing employment for more women.”

As the number of female employees increases, both forests and hopes are growing

RE/MAX Turkey Central Recruitment Manager Leman Aydemir, who mentioned that women adopt an enterprise model where they can share their success with their families and children, said, “It is the dream of every woman to be able to spend her precious time with her family and children. As RE/MAX, we strive to create strong women who own their own business and can even leave this business to their children, and we support their promotion. During the period we stayed at home during the pandemic period, we organized many online activities such as children's theater, yoga, musical, theatrical activities and workshops, ensuring that both themselves and their families and children have a pleasant time. During this period, we continued to grow the memory forest we grew in Sakarya for women with RE/MAX. Finally, we have reached the end of our third forest with a total of 8 thousand trees by planting more than 1,900 saplings. We believe that as our female employees increase, just like our forests, their hopes that gender equality can be achieved both in society and in business life will flourish.”
