By 2030, women will hold 2/3 of US Wealth. Recent stats from the U.S. Department of Education indicate women control $12 trillion of the total $18.4 trillion consumer spending and are critically important to the profitability of organizations. Organizations that hire, develop and promote women have shown to benefit greatly from the massive market insight we possess. Goldman Sachs and Columbia University have both found through independent studies that companies employing women in large numbers out perform competitors on every measure of profitability- productivity, rate of returns, debt reduction, engagement, customer satisfaction and more. What are you doing to hire, promote and keep women leaders in your organization? Global company leaders, the World Bank and the Australian government work diligently to provide organizations in every market with workable models and case studies for companies looking to provide more opportunities for female corporate leadership. Which of their suggestions might fit with your strategic goals for this year?
