What:
|
|
|
Leading up to National Women's Equality Day (August 26, 2017), the
narrative around gender equity and fair treatment of women in the
workplace continues to fuel a large part of diversity and inclusion
work within organizations; however, many senior leaders still search
for ways to operationalize their pledges for equality.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Why:
|
|
|
While changing the narrative around gender equity and improving an
organization's track record in that department have long been a
priority for many C-suites across markets, categories and company
size, it is a complex issue with billions of data points difficult
to understand and apply for good.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Few debate whether gender equity is an issue, but most agree it's
an opportunity," said Katica
Roy, CEO and founder of Denver, Colo.-based, Pipeline.
"My life's work has focused on the economics behind gender equity
not just for one position or within one organization, but the
benefits of gender equity throughout a person's career. It's not
just good sense, it's good dollars."
