The
Challenge
Corporate Profitability
- Does your company have a high retention rate for female employees?
- Do the women in your corporation develop and advance from entry and mid-level
managers to produce the results you need?
Successful corporate executives and organizations realize that attracting,
retaining and developing women leaders is a strategic
imperative over the next several years.
Competitive Advantage
- Does your company implement to the fullest potential the intellectual
capital available from your women employees?
- Does your organization leverage the skill and intellect of your women
employees?
Without aggressive programs focused on keeping and developing women leaders,
corporations will face a shortage of talent and at a serious competitive disadvantage
against those who have determined how to manage this issue.
A Trend: Women Leaving
- Are women in your corporation trading their jobs for entrepreneurship
to attain family/life balance, flexibility, recognition, more money, and
opportunities to make a difference in their world?
- Do the women in your firm experience barriers to advancement, exclusion
from information networks or preconceptions of women's roles
and abilities?
Senior leaders need to assume accountability for women's advancement.
Corporate Women's Challenges Identified
- Do your women employees fear they lack the knowledge and skills to get
the positions they seek and feel overwhelmed by demands inside and outside
of their workplace?
- Despite being better educated and having earned more degrees, do they
lack mentors in senior positions and the necessary leadership and important
skills needed for optimal performance?
Corporate women need to be provided professional development opportunities
to help them gain greater confidence in their abilities, the tools to tackle
work/life challenges and the skills necessary to reach their optimal level.
