Because then you don’t make it a male/female issue, - Male Established Leader, ManpowerGroup, Americas you make it a talent issue.” At ManpowerGroup, top leadership is expected to own this talent legacy – by what they say, what they do and how they lead. So succession planning requires a more deliberate and more purposeful approach to creating a culture that includes women. HR’s role is to support this vision. ManpowerGroup is making good progress, but there is still a way to go. Our CEO reinforces the concept of Conscious Inclusion and his leadership team believes and delivers on it. It is this leadership that has moved ManpowerGroup from a circular conversation about why there aren’t more women in leadership and what we should do about it towards a culture of Conscious Inclusion. Gender parity – here we come. “The messaging has to be clear – we’re an equal opportunity organization, male or female, regardless of age, gender, race. To me that’s really, really important. It has to come from the top and has to be prevalent throughout the organization; otherwise it’s just lip-service.” ~ Male Established Leader, ManpowerGroup, Asia Pacific A Practical Guide to Accelerating More Women Into Leadership | 13
