Much of the home design and construction industry has historically been

heavily male. While that is changing over time (particularly in interior

design), there is still plenty of room for progress. How can companies

attract more talented female employees, and what benefits does this bring

to the shared enterprise? What changes to company culture and thinking will

make women feel more welcome, valued, and able to make their optimal

contribution?
