Women's Initiatives

University of Oklahoma, March 2005, Study: Why Women Leave IT. "Women are leaving the Information Technology (IT) Field...In 1996 women represented 41% of the IT workforce. In 2002 the ratio dropped to 35%. The study found that work family balance was a significant issue specifically for women in IT."

When evaluating Fortune 500 companies, less than 3% of the CEO’s are women, yet women account for over 50% of the workforce.  Studies have shown, the most profitable companies are also ranked as the most diverse companies.  Workforce diversity = profitability. 

For a vibrant and successful Women's Initiative, certain components must be present. Most important, the initiative must be reflective and customized to the company. At WINC, we will see the process from beginning to end.
