Advancing Women's Leadership with Jennifer McCollum

Women enter the workforce at equal rates to men, but only 20% of senior leaders are women and more than 50% of organizations have no clear strategy to advance women leaders. Of the organizations with a strategy, nearly half do not address the most significant barriers holding women back, such as corporate culture and executive action.

Do you have a strategy to attract, retain, and advance women?

Here’s the bottom line: Gender parity isn’t a women’s issue—it’s a business issue, and organizations that don’t take meaningful steps will lose out – with less revenue, profit, and innovation.

According to Linkage research, companies that demonstrate the best results in advancing women leaders do two things: they take active steps to improve the environment for women and all members of underrepresented groups, and they differentially invest in individual women’s leadership training. Ultimately, they empower their women leaders to overcome the obstacles to female leadership by addressing seven high hurdles to women’s advancement.
