Gender Diversity: A Game Changer

Companies with more gender diverse leadership deliver better financial performance.

One study by McKinsey & Company revealed that companies with more gender diverse leadership are 15% more likely to perform above average financially, while companies with the least amount of diversity are well and truly lagging.

EY in collaboration with the Property Council recently released a report titled Grow the Talent Pool: Insights on Gender Representation in Property. Their results showed that women make up over half of non-leadership roles, but only hold just over a quarter of leadership positions. The report also showed that 84% of women aspire to a leadership position, but only 67% of women believe they can achieve it.

The Women in Property Mentoring Program is positioned to help high performing women capable of reaching the most senior leadership positions gain new perspectives to advance their career and develop powerful professional connections and sponsors.

For mentors, the program enhances awareness and inclusive leadership capabilities through reflections triggered by their mentee’s perspectives and participation in forums with their peers across the industry.

“This mentoring program is better than anything going on in my company. The quality and the depth in this program is amazing, and I haven’t’ come across any of this in the last 25 years in any company.” – 2016 Mentor

 “The program has helped me understand other aspects of the property industry, and it was great to learn from my mentee as much as she has learned from me.”  – 2016 Mentor
