Beschreibung

There's one group consistently ignored in most companies' diversity strategies, but which could be your business's secret weapon. Professional women over 50 are faced with a triple-whammy of discrimination: they are not male, young, or linear in their career paths. As a result, they are leaving corporate life and taking their career into their own hands. And with it, they take their abundant wisdom, energy and ambition. Drawing on new research by Dr Lucy Ryan that ﬁlls a longstanding data gap, this book shows that assumptions about declining midlife motivation and energy just aren't true for women and reveals how you can retain and develop this invaluable talent pool with a better understanding of their challenges and a few simple changes. Professional women have transformed our world. And women over 50 are deserving of your attention and ready to step up in your business. Dr Lucy Ryan. is a leadership coach, consultant, author and passionate advocate for women's professional development. Her doctoral research project explored the phenomenon of midlife for professional women, a long-standing data gap, and she works with companies internationally to unlock the potential of this key talent pool.

Zielgruppe

The primary audience for this book is Human Resource (HR) leaders. There are approximately 500
000 HR managers/directors in the UK
with an estimated 2 million in the USA. HR professionals form some 1.6% of the workforce and this figure has grown by 57% in the last five years (CIPD
2021). Research* suggests this will continue to increase with the importance of the HR function playing a central role to most businesses of 20+ employees. This is partly because the pandemic has made the HR function critically important to the functioning of business
no longer simply a ‘necessary nuisance’. Business commentators including McKinsey (2021) * suggest the profession has (at last) “proved its organisational worth” and is now relied on for homeworking
leadership
and diversity policies. HR leaders
