Advancing Women in Tech-Intensive Industries: Transforming Organizational Cultures (Tool)

Research has shown that gender diversity is critical to innovation and maximizing the bottom line. Yet women working in tech-intensive industries—both in technical and business roles—face an uphill battle to advance.

Once women are working in these industries, organizations must do more to retain them and avoid costly turnover. In addition, women who end up taking their talents to another industry are extremely difficult to get back.

Through organizational self-assessments, examples of corporate practices, and suggestions for how to take action, this interactive tool will help your organization:

• Assess the unique facets of its organizational culture to identify areas for improvement.
• Evaluate its current recruitment, advancement, and retention strategies for women.
• Transform its culture with concrete strategies to close the gender gap.
• Become an employer of choice for high-potential women throughout the pipeline.
