Dr. Cherry Collier (Personality Matters, INC.)
from the Forbes Coaches Council says,
“An article in CNN states that ‘companies with
a high representation of women board
members significantly outperformed those
with no female directors.’ In other words, the
more diverse leaders are on the topic, the
better the rate of success.”

Have someone in the
company take out first
and last names, as well
as email addresses,
from each resume
submitted to the
company. This will
keep the reviewers in
check, noting
someone’s experience
and accomplishments
before their gender.

When people are offered salaries
when hired for a position, it is
oftentimes based on what they
have earned in the past. This
sheer habit of many employers
has quite negatively impacted
women. As of April 2016, women
earned 21% less income than men
for the same level job positions.
This is not fair or just by any
means. Companies can change
this pattern by only basing offers
on the most recent salary data
provided by reliable sources for all
employees.

Women tend to act differently
than men in professional settings.
Women tend to, “lead in
democratic, consensus-building
ways, advocate for their teams and
don't stand out as individual
leaders.” What companies should
do as a result of this, Julie P.
Kantor, Ph.D. of the Forbes
Coaches Council goes on to say, is,
“[add] group accomplishments
and team productivity into
performance evaluations,” to
recognize work most often
accomplished by women.
