Women in Leadership

Diversity, inclusivity and equality are critical to organizational high performance, and the Kenexa High Performance Institute’s research sheds new light on the value of women in the workplace and why gender equality has yet to be achieved.

Dr. Ines Wichert leads the women in leadership work at the Institute and is the author of the book, “Where Have All the Senior Women Gone? 9 Critical Job Assignments for Women Leaders.” Following extensive research and over 50 in-depth interviews with business leaders, Dr. Wichert has written this essential career guide for any corporate woman with talent and ambition. The book details the nine most critical job assignments that enable a woman to both develop as a business leader and build credibility with senior decision-makers.

Current women in leadership research projects at KHPI include:

• Global Women’s Advancement Survey


• Women’s Advancement Audit


• Individual development diagnostic
