With talent shortages looming over the next decade, what can
companies do to attract and retain the large number of
professional women who are forced off the career highway?
By documenting the successful efforts of a group of
cutting-edge global companies to retain talented women and
reintegrate them if they’ve already left, Off-Ramps and
On-Ramps answers this critical question. Working closely
with companies such as Ernst & Young, Goldman Sachs, Time
Warner, General Electric and others, author Sylvia Ann
Hewlett identifies what works and why. Based on firsthand
experience with these companies, along with extensive data
that provides the most comprehensive and nuanced portrait of
women's career paths, this book documents the actions
forward-thinking companies must take to reverse the female
brain drain and ensure their access to talent over the long
term.
