February 8, 2023
The Worcester Business Journal discussed the state of women鈥檚 leadership in Central Massachusetts with Jean Beaupre, Ed.D., Dean of the School of Business and lead researcher for the Susan West Engelkemeyer Institute for Women鈥檚 Leadership at 糖心视频, in a story published earlier this week.
A recent departure has left Central Massachusetts publicly traded companies without a single female chief executive. However, there are signs that women can remain hopeful about their leadership prospects, says the article, including that women are starting their own businesses in greater numbers and continuing to seek out new ways to empower one another to the C-suite.
On closing the gender gap in leadership, Beaupre said that for Central Mass to meet national averages, only one or two women would need to be CEO at one of its 15 public companies, and she emphasized that it is important for companies to understand the benefits of expanding women鈥檚 leadership in their companies.
鈥淕ender inequity isn鈥檛 just a societal issue,鈥� said Beaupre. 鈥淚t actually is smart business to have equity in your business.鈥�
