In the traditionally male-dominated industry of
engineering and construction, CH2M HILL provides
a model for advancing female employees to
achieve business success. The Women's Leadership
Initiative uses the company's long-standing inclusive
workplace to accelerate women's advancement
and includes internal and external components,
including Women's Network Chapters, Women's
Leadership Summits, and outreach to philanthropic
and community organizations. Since the
initiative was launched in 2003, women's representation
in CH2M HILL senior leadership positions
such as business unit heads, geographic
region leaders, and top managers has increased
from 2.9 to 18%.
The Women's Leadership Initiative illustrates the
strong business case for supporting women's
advancement to leadership and demonstrates that
businesses can benefit from fresh thinking and
commitment to making women in the workplace a
top priority. The initiative has been so successful
that it now provides a model for other workforce
diversity efforts, both in the engineering and construction
sectors as well as other industries. Includes table, figure.
