CEO signs commitment to continue creating
leadership opportunities for women in professional services.
Today RGP, a global consulting firm and operating subsidiary of
Resources Connection, Inc. (NASDAQ: RECN), has affirmed its
commitment to cultivating women in leadership by joining the
Paradigm for Parity® coalition. The movement is comprised of
companies and business leaders committed to achieving gender parity
in corporate leadership by 2030.
“The cause of gender parity is in our DNA as a company. Our
founder was determined to create greater opportunity for women in
professional services as they struggled to balance career
aspirations with the demands of family life,” said CEO Kate
Duchene. “Today, RGP continues to be a place where women and
working mothers enjoy boundless opportunity – supported by a nearly
gender equal Board of Directors! It therefore felt very natural for
us to join Paradigm for Parity® and sign the pledge, as this is the
core of who we are as a firm.”
This pledge is a public commitment to continue developing a
talent pool of women ready to succeed in leadership roles. At RGP,
52% of leadership roles for Vice President and above are held by
women. In addition to being led by a female CEO, 66% of those in
RVP/SVP roles are women. RGP is actively creating a collaborative
and inclusive workforce and the Paradigm for Parity® pledge aligns
with that vision.
Paradigm for Parity®’s action plan includes:
- Eliminating or minimizing unconscious
bias in the workplace;
- Significantly increase the number of
women in senior operating roles, with a goal of full gender
parity;
- Set measurable goals and hold the
entire senior team accountable to gain meaningful progress;
- Basing career progress on business
results and performance, rather than physical presence in the
office;
- Providing sponsors, not just mentors,
to women well positioned for long term success.
