Advancing Women Provides Womens Networking Opportunities

Many studies, report that organisations with more women in leadership perform better than those with fewer women in leadership.

Recent reports include:

Hudson’s ‘The Case for Work-Life Balance'

Chief Executive Women’s ‘The business case for women leaders’

McKinsey & Company’s ‘Women Matter’

Encouraging women to enter upper management and leadership can make your organisation more competitive and drive growth.

Despite this reality, the proportion of women in executive positions across Australia’s top 200 companies is 8.6%, a decline in recent years. Women still only earn 87% of their male colleague’s salaries.

Online women's networks can facilitate womens career progression and movement into executive positions and help address the imbalance.
