Women career management

Many companies report a lack of gender equality in the workplace, which can take many forms: pay gaps, lack of female representation in management positions, inequalities in promotions and development opportunities, mixed feelings among women, staff turnover, etc.

It is sometimes difficult to understand the root causes of this inequality and, above all, the drivers for taking action to give women greater visibility and development opportunities.

The purpose of this mission is to assess the professional situation of women in the company (career development, promotions, culture, positioning, mindset), to suggest areas for analysis and recommendations for concrete action.
