Authors

Abstract

Women play a pivotal role in reshaping Human Resource Management (HRM) practices, contributing to diversity, innovation, and inclusive work environments. This research explores the transformative impact of women in HRM, focusing on their leadership styles, the barriers they face, and their contributions to organizational success. Through a mixed-methods approach, including surveys, interviews, and case studies, this study highlights the unique strategies employed by women in HR and the resulting implications for HR policies and practices. The findings underline the need for systemic support to overcome gender biases and amplify women’s influence in HRM.v
