ADP ranked No. 15 on the Fair360 Top 50 Companies for Diversity list in 2023.
Women in leadership represent a significant gap in today’s succession planning and hiring pipelines.
ADP shared five strategies for women in leadership to overcome barriers at the “Understanding Leadership Barriers” panel at Women@Work 2023.
The strategies include:
- Develop your talent pipeline to support dimension: Hire for an additive benefit to your team, not based on pedigree
- Broaden your DEI metrics: Include metrics in areas like female representation, promotional goals and hiring across all levels
- Leverage neutral bias monitors: A neutral bias monitor sits in and observes conversations, identifying where bias may occur and steering the conversation back on track
- Create affinity groups with executive feedback: Groups focused on uplifting women serve to empower, support networking and improve inclusivity
- Support leaders with coaching: A coach can help advance women in leadership by giving them feedback and providing perspective
