By Girl Power News , in News , at August 9, 2023

Parity.Org today announced the 2023 Best Companies for Women to Advance list, now in its fourth year. The list includes 44 organizations that are creating the culture and conditions in which women can rise. The assessment was based on the best practices outlined in Parity.Org’s ParityMODEL™ for Women in Leadership.

“Women are significantly underrepresented at the highest levels of leadership in most organizations, and research confirms that it’s due to bias and structural inequalities – not to an insufficient pipeline,” said Parity.Org President Dina Schenk. “The companies named to this year’s ParityLIST for Women are being intentional about creating equity in the workplace, which starts with acknowledging the disparate barriers women face at home and at work.”

What makes a workplace great for women?

The 2023 Best Companies for Women to Advance honorees had a number of policies and practices in common, such as:

In addition, virtually every company has a zero-tolerance policy for harassment and a safe reporting system that ensures employees are not punished in any way for reporting incidents of discrimination and harassment.
