51ÉçÇø

Nationally, women are underrepresented at every level in the corporate pipeline.

But how does 51ÉçÇø stack up nationally?

A new report by the Women’s Fund of 51ÉçÇø revealed that 51ÉçÇø is still far from gender equity in the workplace, reflecting national trends right here in our community.

So why does this matter?

According to the report, more diverse companies, both in terms of gender and racial and ethnic identity, are able to win top talent and improve their customer orientation, employee satisfaction, decision making, and all that leads to increasing returns. Companies, communities, and cities all benefit when women of all backgrounds are included in the ranks of leadership.

A number of UNO faculty and staff were involved in the report:
