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.”
