Organizations
Coaching at the Intersection of Leadership and Women’s Health.
You’ve invested heavily in recruiting women. Your EAPs and wellbeing programs are robust. Despite all of this, your pipeline of talented women can feel shaky, and sometimes, you just can’t figure out why that is.
The lack of support for women struggling with Women’s Health Challenges can cause your colleagues to struggle silently, opting out of leadership opportunities, decreasing their contributions and leaving their roles entirely. Your talent pipeline and your bottom line are affected.
Companies with supportive environments for women and who embrace gender diversity outperform their peers
- Organizations with the highest percentage of women on executive committees achieved a 47% greater return on equity compared to those without women in executive roles.
- Organizations ranking in the top quartile for gender diversity are 27% more likely to exceed their national industry average in profitability.
- Companies in the lowest quartile for gender diversity were much less likely to surpass their national industry average in profit margins.
- Organizations with gender-balanced boards are nearly 20% more likely to achieve improved business outcomes.
Gender-diverse teams and women leadership drive better outcomes
