Empowered Women Lead and Succeed

March is International Women's Month and we are proud to use this occasion to celebrate the achievements of women in the corporate sector and look at ways in which we can ensure consistent growth and development for women leaders.

Within recent years, women have demonstrated consistency at breaking down obstacles, leading, and succeeding. In 2022, Fortune 500 companies reached a record high with 44 female CEOs running some of the largest corporations in the U.S.

As more women ascend to the top and organizations cultivate diverse and inclusive workplaces, the result is innovation and growth. Ursula Burns, for example, made headlines several times during her 13-year tenure as CEO of Xerox for implementing critical strategies, such as deep budget cuts that saved the company from bankruptcy and a bold $6 billion acquisition that secured the company’s future.

Companies benefit from the distinctive perspectives and strengths of their female employees. To achieve this, organizations prioritize leadership development for existing and emerging women leaders; engage in team building that breaks down silos and encourages diverse idea-exchange; and value the inclusive strategic planning process that lifts up the voices of women in the organization.

When employers provide leadership training and development opportunities for women, it promotes trust, enhanced communication, and creativity throughout the organization. Inclusive opportunities for growth encourage a culture of teamwork and collaboration and build a more effective and engaged workforce.
