More than 40% of associates at Hewitt are women and approximately 36% are managers. Thirty percent of our executive officers are women.
Some of Hewitt’s efforts that support the development of women in the workplace include Women In Leadership, the Centre for Women in Leadership within Hewitt University, and Menttium, a formal mentoring program for high-potential, high-performing corporate women that welcomes participation from many companies, including Hewitt. We also have a business resource group for Working Parents with chapters in various offices across the US and Canada.
This award will make this month’s celebration on March 26th of National Women’s History Month particularly special at Hewitt. This year’s theme is Women in Leadership: Past, Present, and Future. Our guest speaker will be Betsy Myers who will focus on Authentic Leadership. Most recently, Myers served as a senior advisor to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign as the Chief Operating Officer.
