Gallup’s Post

With women making up the majority of the US population, I think we need to keep digging deeper into the root causes here. Women are more engaged at various levels throughout the organization except at the more senior level! Are women pulling back from senior leadership roles because they feel isolated or because they aren't included in the same way as their male counterparts? There is no reason why women can't have it all. Have a senior leadership position that provides connection, collaboration and inclusion at all levels. What do you think? Why are women less engaged at the higher levels? 👇🏽

Why do women’s engagement levels drop at senior leadership positions? 💡 Women Lead in Engagement: Across most levels, women show higher engagement than men. However, this changes at senior leadership levels. 📉 Leadership Challenge: As women reach top positions, their engagement advantage vanishes, equalizing with men’s engagement. 🔍 Root Causes: Leadership roles can be isolating for women, lacking camaraderie and emotional support, leading to shorter tenures compared to men. 🚀 Solutions for Boosting Engagement: 1. Flexible Work Arrangements: Ensure no compromise on pay or career growth. 2. Bias Correction: Address pay disparities transparently. 3. Mentorship & Networking: Provide strong support systems for women leaders. 🌟Action Steps for Companies: - Conduct gender parity audits. - Foster an empowering and inclusive culture. - Commit to diversity and inclusive leadership opportunities. Empower your female leaders to thrive, ensuring engaged teams and a thriving organization! 💪🌍 #Leadership #EmployeeEngagement #DiversityAndInclusion

Women in Leadership Statics: Insights for inclusion These findings stem from research carried out by DDI, a global leadership consulting firm. Let's highlight the sunshine! 🌞 Women are making waves in leadership and their impact is nothing short of inspirational: Boost to Financial Performance: Companies that are in the top 10% for financial performance have more women leaders (29%) compared to those lagging behind (23%). It's clear that having women in leadership roles is not just good for equality but also great for business! 💼💰 Supporting an Inclusive Culture: Organizations with an above-average number of women leaders are nearly 2x more likely to be rated as having an inclusive culture. This shows how women in leadership roles are paving the way for more welcoming and diverse workplaces. 🌈 Engagement and Retention: Women leaders, particularly in STEM fields, are more focused on maintaining an engaged workforce. This is crucial for innovation and keeping the team spirit alive, especially in industries that are the backbone of our technological future. 🔬💡 Creating Opportunities: Despite challenges, women are increasingly being seen in high-potential pools, especially in companies with strong bench strength, signalling a slow but steady change towards gender equity in leadership opportunities. 🚀(A company's bench strength is the company's pool of employees who are not only competent in their current roles but also possess the skills, potential, and readiness to step into more senior or leadership positions when opportunities arise or when there's a need for succession planning.) Driving DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) Forward: Even as some companies scale back on DEI initiatives, the presence of women in leadership roles continues to be a testament to the importance and benefits of diversity and inclusion efforts in creating stronger, more resilient organizations. 🌍 Women's leadership is clearly a beacon of progress, innovation, and inclusivity in the workplace.

Newly published research at VMware’s Women’s Leadership Innovation Lab shows that, “although managers were able to curb differences in how they described employees’ traits and behaviors (‘viewing biases’), they were unlikely to catch differences in how they rewarded employees for those traits and behaviors (‘valuing biases’).” #DEI #diversity #equity #inclusion #leadership #genderbias #genderequity

“Female bosses are the worst” This is what popular culture would have you believe. And you may have heard this complaint from people at work too. Women in leadership are often portrayed as: -Too emotional -Weak -Unable to make a decision -Aggressive How female leaders are actually performing: -72% of employees working under female leaders feel valued at work (compared to 68% under a man) -67% reported job satisfaction under a female leader (compared to 61% under a man) -Team collaboration is greatly improved under a female leader -Companies led by women have more gender balanced Boards, leading to greater inclusion It’s time women in leadership get the respect they deserve for the transformation we’re creating.

Gender fatigue? The Inclusion Paradox? Why is prioritising women's development, specifically, still so fruitful and something I believe we MUST continue to offer and evolve? Read on for my latest thoughts just published in theHRDIRECTOR.
