CLOSING THE CORPORATE GENDER GAP: Turning a marathon into a sprint

100 years to achieve gender parity in the C-Suite1? This is too long! Barriers to gender parity emerge early in the career path, with 130 men being promoted to manager for every 100 women promoted2. The gender gap widens along the path to leadership, with women accounting for just 24% of all C-Suite executives at the top 1,000 U.S. companies by revenue3. Despite research showing that companies with diverse leadership outperform others, the rate of progress remains sluggish. This shortage of female talent is acute, and costly. The time to pick up the pace is now.

The Massachusetts High Technology Council and reacHIRE, in collaboration with knowledge partner McKinsey & Company, cordially invite you to a breakfast discussion on addressing the workplace gender gap and the latest strategies and programs to address it.

The event will gather senior corporate leaders committed to the replenishment, retention and development of female talent. We will provide the latest research and offer a forum to discuss creative solutions and best practices to help companies optimally engage women at all stages of the talent pipeline and move the needle on advancing more women from middle management to senior leadership roles.
