Women Forward Joan Harper

Proven and practical ways to champion women, especially in business. If women can blast through three of the toughest glass ceilings-the U. S. Army, the NFL and the trucking industry-what are we waiting for? Meet the game changers: People and organizations across the U. S., the U. K., Latin America, Asia and Africa who have successfully accelerated women's leadership in the workplace and society. Riveting personal stories from the front lines detail how executives from financial services to media and technology dealt with entrenched culture and systems, what types of support kept them focused on their goals, and how we can translate their experience into actions of our own. Savvy organizations also share how they have structured their workplaces, policies and programs to promote pay equity, overcome unconscious bias and improve women's access to capital. This book is a rich compilation of interviews, tips and tools from the winners of the Bpeace Women Forward Awards, a global competition sponsored by the 5-star nonprofit, the Business Council for Peace. A blue-ribbon panel of CEO-level judges evaluated the award nominees.
