We’ve all heard the phrase “women in leadership,” but how do we help them break through and rise to their full potential? When striving for better representation of women in top-level positions, it is essential that Human Resources directors, managers, and other leaders are working towards creating an environment of support. By encouraging genuine inclusion and providing the resources needed to succeed, we can begin to see a shift in gender equality within organizations.
