The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) reports on an extensive study done of women executives by the Families and Work Institute, Catalyst and the Boston College Center for Work & Family. The study report finds: "HR professionals have long realized that female senior executives have different needs from their male counterparts. A new study makes the differences—and the surprising similarities—clearer."
Differences included:
Women have made more decisions than men about managing their careers to exclude or delay personal life events.
With regard to opportunities for advancement, "Women reported facing many more obstacles than men, including being excluded from important networks, having a limited number of role models, having limited opportunities for experiences in line management or general management, facing gender stereotypes and being in dual-career families."
This is interesting information. Check out the complete summary at "New study offers possible keys to success for executive-level women."
Warmly,
