Women need champion in their place of work, mentors who will give them advice and sponsors with a place at the table to advocate for their advancement
Tonya Lagrasta is the head of ESG for Colliers Real Estate Management Services in Canada.
Whenever this happened, I often wondered if these women were simply worried about being “selected out” of the leadership pipeline if they left those in a position to influence their career growth uncertain about their plans to start a family. Women need help from champions: mentors who will give them advice and sponsors with a place at the table who will advocate for their advancement.
If companies want to build a diverse leadership pipeline that includes every high-potential woman, they need to foster a work environment that recognizes the challenges women face inside and outside of the office. Women are, in general, the primary caregivers for their children and, increasingly, their aging parents. According tonumbers from 2015, women in households with a partner and children in the home on average do 1,710 hours of unpaid household work per year. Men do 1,110 hours.
I think employers should find ways to help these women make it work. There is no one-size-fits-all solution but there are plenty of possibilities.
