How do you find and nurture female talent in countries where women are discouraged from leaving the home Diversity leaders from seven global companies recently explored the need to increase operational roles, understand local laws and cultural barriers, and adopt flexible work practices, especially in Middle Eastern and Asian countries.
Chief Diversity Officer Rohini Anand of Sodexo (No. 2 in the 2012 Fair360, formerly DiversityInc Top 50) led the discussion at a recent Fair360, formerly DiversityInc event and explored the challenges companies face in improving female representation at the executive levels. The audience of corporate and diversity leaders was able to ask questions, contribute their best practices for talent development and share firsthand their real-life success stories.
Companies participating included: PricewaterhouseCoopers (No. 1), Procter & Gamble (No. 5), American Express (No. 14), The Coca-Cola Company (No. 46), and BASF and Wyndham Worldwide (both are on Fair360, formerly DiversityInc’s 25 Noteworthy Companies list).
