CHICAGO (September 28, 2016) – The Network of Executive Women published a new report today outlining steps companies can take to advance women leaders in the retail and consumer goods industry.
Produced in conjunction with the Center for Creative Leadership, “Green Lights & Stop Signs: The Road to Gender Parity in Retail and Consumer Goods,” outlines critical support factors and common barriers that affect women’s careers.
Conflicting work/life priorities, being overlooked and undervalued, and being undermined were cited as barriers preventing women from being promoted.
“The retail and consumer goods industry recognizes the importance of creating workplace cultures and policies that level the playing field for women,” NEW President and CEO Joan Toth said. “By working together, organizations and talent can create workplaces where everyone can fulfill their potential.”
Key findings
The report surveyed more than 900 NEW members and found that:
“Green Lights & Stop Signs” is a follow up to "Accelerators: Critical Competencies for Women Leaders in Retail and Consumer Goods," which identified 13 factors that can make or break a woman’s career in the retail and consumer goods industry.
