Are Women Led Companies More Profitable?
It is a well hidden secret that companies with a higher representation of women on their board or in their senior management ranks succeed better and return MORE to their shareholders. In fact substantially better.
Deborah Gillis, Senior Vice President, Membership & Global Operations for the Catalyst Organization
Communication, team engagement and customer centricity - three ways women may particularly add to corporate success at senior levels.
Gender is the most powerful determinant of how a person views the world and everything in it. It is more powerful than age, income, race or geography. Yet even though 80% of key buying decisions are made by women, 90% of key business decisions are made by men.
The Catalyst organization is a non profit research, benchmarking and advocate organization that has been tracking the effect of women in the senior ranks of the workforce for decades and works for the most successful companies to address this dramatic gender imbalance and misuse of one of our most valuable resources.
