Boost Women's Careers: Organizations Can Act Now

Organizations can actively support women's career development and strengthen their commitment through targeted, visible measures. The goal is to set a clear signal for equal opportunities and promotion.

One key measure is implementing succession or talent management plans. This involves identifying high-potential women and providing them with targeted development. This shows the organization values their contributions and sees them as part of the company's future. Additionally, investing in the knowledge and skills of female employees increases their engagement, motivation, and loyalty. A succession plan should provide leadership development and training opportunities for female employees. This can include mentoring programs, stretch assignments, cross-functional projects, leadership workshops, and formal training. These help women build capabilities for greater responsibilities and career progression.

By implementing these measures, organizations demonstrate a clear commitment to the career development and retention of women. This not only benefits individual employees but also strengthens the organization as a whole.
