Women in the workplace

Many exceptionally talented and educated women are

walking away from the overwhelming workload that

currently characterizes your workplace.

The ever increasing demands of professional careers

today typically do not support a healthy Work/Life

Balance for the average single woman.

The situation worsens for working mothers who need to

maintain full-time status at their companies while trying to

raise a family.

The result is a steady exodus of qualified, educated

women; leaving Organizations scrambling to find top

talent to replace them.

long enough.”
