Maxeon's Global HR Lead, Rachael Fitzpatrick knows what she's doing when it comes advocating women in the workplace. Especially when it comes to advancement. “Carefully watch your women and see if they are putting themselves forward. A lot of women will wait until they believe they are almost overqualified before asking for advancement. "Encouragement to move before that point is necessary as well as the assurance that there is support when they need to ask questions and bounce ideas.” Read more about Rachael's insights in our International Women's Day Series: https://lnkd.in/dguGPv-C #IWD2024 #CountHerIn

We recently published an article discussing McKinsey and LeanIn's 2023 Women in the Workplace report. The report recommends five core areas of focus for companies looking to support and advance women: 👉 Track outcomes for women’s representation. 👉 Empower managers to be effective people leaders. 👉 Address microaggressions head-on. 👉 Unlock the full potential of flexible work. 👉 Fix the broken rung, once and for all. We explored each of these recommendations through a legal lens in our article (which you can find via our blog). But we wanted to share a quote from CGL's Founder - Hannah Genton: ‘One sentence that really resonated with me is “These women are defying the outdated notion that work and life are incompatible – and that one comes at the expense of the other”. This is exactly why Noam and I founded CGL. And we’re excited to see what happens with more movement in this direction.’ – Hannah Genton, Founding Partner at CGL. If you need help updating your workplace policies, the CGL employment attorneys are ready to assist you.

In a new Forbes Human Resources Council article, Broadleaf President and CEO Lynne Marie Finn weighs in on pay transparency and how it can help keep women in the C-suite. "Pay transparency benefits all workers and can help attract and retain women in the C-suite by closing the pay gap. Employers who prioritize pay transparency are taking steps to ensure all women are being paid fairly, based on their experience, performance and contributions. Women at all levels are more likely to stick around and grow with the organization when they feel valued."

LinkedIn Top Career Development Coaching Voice (2024) LinkedIn Top Interviewing Voice (2023) Global Career Management Strategist & Coach on a mission to help women close their wage gap + win the work-life balance war.
“Companies set high expectations on mid-level employees to work more independently, increase productivity, and contribute to growth. On top of these pressures, women are striving for more management responsibility while trying to balance the changing demands of their personal lives. Women have more on their plate during this time frame, often feeling pulled in multiple directions, creating a confidence crisis.” This is why I work with women in the middle; not because of their confidence crisis, but to ensure they have capacity and are compensated equitably. https://lnkd.in/eCmTd9mU
