The 21st-century workforce is changing and companies must now adapt their recruitment strategies to attract, retain, and nurture women. This is the result of the environment, social, and governance (ESG) movement, which encourages corporate accountability for the effects their operations have on people and the environment.
While the breadth of ESG is vast, senior executives are most interested in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) assurance, according to Deloitte. There is a particularly strong interest in women in the workplace — but we cannot meaningfully discuss women at work if we are not considering their entire professional lifecycle; that is, how they are acquired, trained, and moved up the ladder.
