Women in Leadership: The SheSuite

Seattle, WA, July 09, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Study after study shows correlation between the number of women in senior management positions and improved corporate performance, yet women hold less than five percent of CEO positions in U.S. Fortune 500 companies. To highlight this disconnect as well as explore the impact of women in corporate leadership roles, the Institute for Corporate Productivity (i4cp) is pleased to announce the launch of The SheSuite™.

In addition to tracking trends and next practices in diversity and inclusion, The SheSuite™ will publish a new in-depth interview with a C-level woman executive each month. These exclusive, candid discussions will spotlight CEOs, COOs, and CHROs alike, representing a wide range of industries, including healthcare, technology, finance, and government. The inaugural interview profiles Nina Ramsey, Chief Human Resources Officer at global employment/recruiting firm, Kelly Services, an i4cp member company. In her conversation with i4cp, Ramsey discusses her own career, the role of women in business, the challenges of attracting and retaining talent, and the reasons why women-led organizations are more profitable.

As a leading human capital research firm, i4cp discovers the people practices that drive high performance to improve revenue, profit, market share, and customer satisfaction. A critical component of performance—and one of five core domains in i4cp’s People-Profit Chain™ model—is leadership. Utilizing The SheSuite™ to understand the current state of women in leadership can help companies adapt to the evolving workforce and better position themselves for the future.
