Celebrations are in store for Schneider Electric after the company's inclusion in the coveted Forbes list of America’s Best Employers for Women 2019.
Delighted by the news, the progressive employer tweeted: "Schneider Electric is honored to be on Forbes' list of America’s Best Employers for Women 2019. We're proud of our commitment to pay #equity, an inclusive family leave policy, and equal opportunities for everyone, everywhere."
Helping women make undeniable strides towards workplace equality
According to Forbes, women have made undeniable strides toward workplace equality in recent years. But while they account for 56 per cent of college students and 48 per cent of entry-level positions, they still make up just 23 per cent of the C-suite. "It would seem that for every step forward, much of corporate America has lagged behind. Thankfully, some organizations are doing better to keep pace," Forbes adds.
Forbes teamed up with market research company Statista to identify the companies liked most by female workers with its annual ranking of America’s best employers for women. The list was compiled by surveying 60,000 Americans, including 40,000 women, working for businesses with at least 1,000 employees.
