After decades of attention, corporations’ top talented women are still struggling to advance at the same pace as their male coworkers. There are challenges in many areas... the organization’s structure, the need of women with families to have flexibility, gender differences, communication norms and all the unwritten rules that currently exist in corporate America. Professional women drop out of their careers at an alarming rate. Many leave one firm to go to another in search of a more advancement-friendly environment. Some start entrepreneurial efforts of their own in an attempt to control their own destiny. While this is good for the overall economy, it’s not good for your organization. More needs to be done to develop your high-potential women employees.
Our consultants work with you on both sides of the issue... the company’s capabilities to foster healthy career development and the pipeline of talented women ready to advance in their careers. First, we work with you to determine what affect your culture and other environmental conditions have on this situation. We identify your key factors and build a plan to ensure success. Looking at the pipeline of talent, we believe there are three main focus areas: early career, mid-career, and executive leadership. We work with you to determine an appropriate plan of action at each level. Our program is tailored to your specific organization’s requirements, with meticulous attention to results... your ability to retain your top female talent and their ability to succeed at your company.
“Large public companies have to acknowledge the stats... Companies that honor diversity in their leadership teams out perform their non-diverse counterparts by a significant margin. It’s good business.”
