Research on the importance of implementing flexible and family-friendly policies, programs, and practices in workplaces has been well documented. In fact, there is a clear, direct link between companies that implement these types of strategies and the retention and advancement of women. Fortunately, many Utah companies are taking the lead in offering initiatives and benefits that are making a positive difference in their employees’ lives. Highlighting the best practices of these leading organizations can help all of Utah’s employers better understand how to implement policies and create workplace cultures that support women and families. The Utah Women & Leadership Project (UWLP) recently published a research and policy brief "100 Companies Championing Women in 2024: Best Practices for Utah Companies" which is the topic of this episode.

Dr. Susan Madsen, Founding Director of the UWLP, is joined by two guests, both members of the UWLP team: Kolene Anderson, Associate Director and co-author of the report, and Deborah Lin, Local Outreach & Curriculum Manager who assists with the 100 Companies Championing Women nominations.
