Women at this consumer products company have many opportunities to enhance their skills, which some do by trying their hands at challenging short- or long-term assignments, working in a different U.S. or international location or joining task forces and project teams that require them to update their specialized knowledge. executives may also opt to participate in Global Leadership 2030, a 12-month initiative that finds them working together on ways to resolve business issues and considering how to improve the company’s bottom line (as a program highlight, they get the chance to present their ideas to leadership for review, which further serves to raise their visibility).
