Women in Leadership Drives Business Impact
Simmons University has a 125-year legacy of empowering women through education. At the Institute, our mission is focused on manifesting equity in leadership by fostering gender parity and creating cultures of inclusion. Our team brings deep expertise in this space through our research and from working with leaders from hundreds of organizations globally.
Whether you are focused on accelerating your own career, or responsible for driving broader talent initiatives forward in your organization, our research-based programming is designed to address the challenges facing women leaders in the workforce today.
Gender equity is more than simply a buzzword. A growing body of research now demonstrates fairly conclusively that a true commitment to diversity generally — and gender equity more specifically — can have concrete financial benefits.
