Catalyst is a research and advisory organization that works to support and promote women in business. This year Catalyst presented awards to The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc; PepsiCo Inc; PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC; and Scotiabank for the work that they do advancing women in business.  According to Catalyst, women are still highly underrepresented in roles of both senior leadership and on the boards of the Fortune 500 companies. But these companies promoted and worked hard to exemplify what Catalyst hopes to see in the future: the advancement of women to the level of senior management in the business world.

 

Goldman Sach’s Senior Women’s Initiative worked to double the number of women partners and increase the number of women managing directors. PepsiCo’s Women of Color Multicultural Alliance increased the representation of women of color in the senior management/director level. PwC increased women representation at the partner level by 30 percent and all staff had a 1/3-reduction rate in turnover while Scotiabank increased the number of women at the senior level within the Bank.

  • Should a Male Be the CEO of a Female Workforce?

    Should gender be considered in making hiring decisions? Before you gasp, I know that legally you can’t discriminate based on race, color, religion or gender. Now consider that there’s a company with a workforce of over a million women. Its CEO is a man. Do you think a man is the best person for the job? I don’t think so. I’m not for discrimination. I am for some forward thinking in leadership for women.

  • Yes You Can

    Guess how many women CEOs there are in the Fortune 500? There are 22 since Ursula Burns became Xerox's CEO last year. Does that seem like very few to you? It does to me.

    President Obama may want to rethink how American companies should or should not conduct business.

  • Who's Wearing Rose Colored Glasses?

    Do you think that women have the same opportunities as men do for advancement? Before you answer, look around at your workplace. Think of your own experiences. Think of those that your friends have had. Before you answer, ask a male colleague what he thinks. Now you can answer. I’ll bet your answer is different than your male colleagues. That’s what a recent survey showed. But what does it really mean for women in business?
