I know that women often see things differently, or have ideas and approaches that men don’t have in business. And I just discovered an American private sector task force that is dedicated to transformational research on the benefits and policies for advancing highly qualified talent across the barriers posed by gender, generation and culture.

To find out more about their work and the Work-Life Policy centre, click here. The PDF of their current Task Force Members is especially interesting, as well as the host of huge companies they have worked with such as American Express, Ernst and Young, General Electic and Goldman Sachs.

Thanks Jen. The Centre for worklife policy has lots of great information.
I followed the links through to the pdf OFF-RAMPS AND ON-RAMPS: KEEPING WOMEN ON THE ROAD TO SUCCESS.There are some very interesting statistics there on how many women who take time out of work want to return to work and how many of them make it. A must read for HR managers.

It's a fantastic report isn't it? I'd add that it's a must read for execs as well, because the cost of losing their female talent does impact their success considerably.
