The Best Workplaces™ for Women
The Best Workplaces™ for Women is a new accreditation standard that recognizes those top organizations. While providing a great work environment to all employees, the organization also creates positive and supportive workplaces for women, in particular developing and promoting practices that make sure women in the workplace have a fair and positive work experience, and have the opportunity to contribute to the success of the business while they develop their talents personally and professionally.
A recent study conducted by Great Place to Work® found that women’s careers benefit when their leaders seek out ways to make work more meaningful for all employees, irrespective of gender. When women feel they make a difference at their companies, they’re 27x more likely to say they have a great place to work and 6x more likely to want to stay with their companies for a long time. If women experience workplace traits that encourage innovation, they are 4x more likely to plan a long-term future at the company.
Best Workplaces™ for Women in Greater China aims to help in closing the gaps in an organization’s workplace culture and to help many companies to provide a great place to work for all.
