Empowering women to re-enter the workforce in Turkey
4/23/2026 •
Ipragaz, Turkey
Many experienced women temporarily step away from their careers due to family or personal responsibilities. Re-entering the workforce can often be challenging despite their qualifications and experience. This contributes to gender inequality and results in a loss of valuable skills and economic potential for companies and society.
At Ipragaz Turkey, our ‘Back to Work, Back to Power’ pilot scheme highlights the value of supporting women in returning to work. The pilot follows a structured reintegration programme helps women rebuild their confidence, update their digital skills, and reconnect with the corporate environment.
Thirteen women participated in the pilot. Several received job offers, which increased our pool of qualified employees. The scheme also supports the ambition of making ‘SHV Energy a great place to work’ by embracing diversity and encouraging development.
“When experienced women return to the workforce, organisations benefit from stronger talent, societies gain through higher productivity and economic growth — making it a true win-win.”
