Eliminating Obstacles to Women's Professional Advancement
This week, Business Forward welcomed pollsters Christine Matthews and Margie Omero to discuss our survey on eliminating obstacles for women in the workplace.
As the nation turns its eyes toward the real and problematic harassment women face in the workplace, employers across the country are trying to understand the challenges – workplace, systemic, legal – that make it harder for women than men to advance professionally. A recent study by S&P found that the U.S. could add five to 10 percent to the GDP by making it easier for women to stay in the workforce. But how?
Our conversation with Omero and Matthews offers insights into policies that would help professional women advance their careers.
