The numbers speak for themselves: Companies that are diverse are 75% more likely to bring innovative ideas to market and 70% more likely to capture new markets; companies with female leadership deliver 1.4x sustained profitable growth. Unfortunately, the pandemic has set women back – it will take an additional 36 years to close the global gender gap, bringing the total to 136 years, according to the World Economic Forum. In just two years, it has increased by an entire generation! With partners like Jay Rosenzweig, we are working to close the gaps and change the equation; it’s time to reimagine the workplace and make it more equitable.
