Investing in women leaders has fast become imperative for companies to survive and ultimately thrive. The data are clear – companies with a higher proportion of women in leadership positions experience improved outcomes, including greater innovation and productivity (1, 2).
However, women leaders are leaving their organizations in unprecedented numbers (3, 4).
Women leaders are working harder than ever while navigating the post-pandemic world of work. They are doing more unofficial work in supporting the wellbeing of their teams and organizations, and yet are experiencing a burnout gap of more than double that of their male colleagues. Women suffer greater from burnout and simultaneously do more on their own in their attempts to combat it (5, 6).
While driving productivity for their companies and looking out for their team members’ health, the health and well-being of women leaders is being impacted (5). Statistics (7) suggest that 87% of companies recognize that their women leaders are a critical resource needing support for their well-being. Yet, fewer than 25% of organizations are doing anything about it.
You can’t afford to lose your women in leadership. Give them a reason to stay. Invest in their well-being and leadership.
