Session Description:
In the US healthcare industry, women represent 65 percent of the workforce. Despite their significant workforce representation, they are under-represented in leadership – only making up 30 percent of C-suite teams and 13 percent of CEOs. Several studies have shown that diversity produces better outcomes – more innovation, more creative solutions to problems, and ultimately better financial outcomes. Women bring in a critical vantage point to industry and according to one study; women comprise 25 percent of the leadership among the highest grossing hospitals and medical centers as compared to 18 percent for the industry. In the drive for gender equity, healthcare leaders have acknowledged the need for fully inclusive gender equity that recognizes the intersectionality of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and other dimensions of identity. Efforts to improve women representation in the senior ranks of healthcare management must include women from all backgrounds and experiences. When intersectionality considerations are incorporated into gender equity strategies, organizations can reap tangible, proven benefits including better talent recruitment and retention, stronger DEI outcomes, and improved organizational performance.
