“There is strong evidence that WLDPs (women’s leadership development programs) produce results, including higher promotion rates, higher retention, increased sponsorship, broader networks, increased knowledge and confidence, and better understanding of organizational structure and processes.”
- Harvard Business Review March 2023
THIS MOMENT IN TIME
“Women leaders are leaving their companies at the highest rate in years, and the gap between women and men leaders leaving is the largest we’ve ever seen. To put the scale of the problem in perspective: for every woman at the director level who gets promoted to the next level, two women directors are choosing to leave their company.”
-McKinsey and Company & Lean In: 2022 Women in the Workplace Report
