Katherine commented No alt text provided for this image #MeToo has taught us what companies that are bad employers for women look like. But what makes a company a good employer for women? My colleagues at Wharton Social Impact and I reviewed hundreds of academic studies to find the markers that distinguish companies that are great employers for women. Read about our findings and recommendations in this CNN Business Perspective. To determine if a company is really a good employer for women, take a hard look at the representation, pay, health and satisfaction of the women who work there. It's time to measure and report what really matters for women in the workplace. That's how we'll build companies that are great employers for women -- and for men, too. https://lnkd.in/eNchhb9 # # #business #socialimpact #Metoo #genderpaygap #genderlensinvesting #sexualharassment #goodforwomen #impactinvesting Katherine shared this 26 Likes 4 Comments No alt text provided for this image Congratulations!
