What We Love

Women abound at this financial company, where they comprise 65% of employees and nearly half of all managers. A wealth of in-house development courses prepares female employees to transition into top executive roles, while an interview program (run by the Women’s Interest Network) provides access to female leaders, who share their insights and experiences. In a big step forward, the company held its first Global Women’s Conference last November.
