How Women Shape Business

Women in business settings change company culture and workplace culture for the better. From Disney to L’Oreal, it’s clear that companies benefit from a diverse workforce, and Greenhaven is no different.

When women enter a company they bring unique perspectives, experiences, and expertise that allow for innovation and creativity to flourish throughout the workforce.

Not only do women bring creativity and new perspectives to a workforce; businesses that are gender-diverse perform better overall. Research out of Mckinsey has shown that companies with higher gender-diversity are 15% more likely to perform above the industry median.

In the same vein, a study by Gallup surveyed more than 800 business units across two separate companies in the retail and hospitality sectors . It found that gender-diverse companies performed better financially than their male-dominated counterparts.

Women allow companies to appeal to a broader client-base and collaborate with other employees to find unique solutions to problems.

As a digital marketing firm and tech company we are proud to have so many talented women make up part of our staff. We’re thankful for their contributions and are excited to continue to see what they bring to our company!
