Abstract The role of women entrepreneurs in the process of economic growth, innovation, employment generation and social development has become an important contribution in developed and developing economies. As women enter entrepreneurship, they have changed the nature of the business world, bringing in their differences, inclusion practices, and socially-problem-solving business models. But there are still a number of organizational and workforce-related issues that affect women-led businesses in their sustainability and performance. Inclusion management, effective inclusion practices and the use of gender diversity as a business asset are key issues for women entrepreneurs. Having diverse workforces offers increased knowledge, creativity and problem-solving, yet also introduces communication barriers, cultural differences, discrimination, organizational integration and other challenges. Likewise, effects of diversity on organizational outcomes depend on the extent to which diversity is incorporated. Also, the ways in which diversity is incorporated influence whether diversity can be translated into organizational outcomes. Gender diversity also has a significant contribution to innovation, improved decision making and entrepreneurial growth. This theoretical paper discusses the difficulties in managing workforce diversity in women entrepreneurship ventures, reviews the practices of workforce inclusion and its effect on women entrepreneurship ventures and studies the impact of gender diversity on women entrepreneurship ventures. Theoretical views and conceptual debates are emphasized on the concept of workforce management strategies in women entrepreneurship.
Keywords Women entrepreneurship, workforce diversity, inclusion practices, gender diversity, women-led startups
