Background
The value of women in leadership positions has been widely acknowledged over the last few years. Women in positions of power correlate directly with better results and fosters growth, profit, and improved performance within a workplace. More than 70% of Americans say that having more women in leadership positions would have significant impacts on the wage gap, changing policies, and a diverse workforce.
As a leading role-model for women’s rights, Sweden was recently ranked #2 in Best Countries for Women, a ranking derived from five attributes: caring about human rights, gender equality, income equality, progress, and safety. Join us as we hear directly from a Swedish Women’s perspective on leadership home and abroad.
