What can women’s experiences tell us about AI success?

AI’s Hidden Costs for Women: Risks to Talent and ROI, Catalyst’s latest research, shows how workload, credibility, and talent risks can serve as early warning signals that AI adoption isn’t delivering its full value.

We accelerate performance and progress through workplace inclusion — for women and everyone.

Inclusion is a business imperative.

Today’s workplaces are facing unprecedented pressures: labor participation and wage gaps between men and women, shifting workplace norms, and a growing need for flexibility and employee well-being.

  • Attract and retain talent

    Inclusive cultures make organizations magnets for top talent, improving retention and reducing costly turnover.

  • Foster team innovation

    Diverse, inclusive teams generate more ideas, drive innovation, and outperform less inclusive competitors.

  • Build and sustain trust

    Genuine, organization-wide inclusion builds psychological safety and trust, strengthening engagement and loyalty.

  • Drive sustainable business results

    Embedding inclusion into business strategy fuels sustainable performance, resilience, and measurable results.

Why leading organizations partner with Catalyst

  • Catalyst has been a trusted partner in our firm's inclusive and intersectional work to eliminate systemic barriers for women in our workplace and in the communities we serve. Their cutting-edge research supports our work in advancing women into positions of leadership in the legal profession.

    Charlene Theodore

    Chief Inclusion Officer, McCarthy Tétrault​

  • Catalyst has really leaned in and works with so many of our partner organizations, but also their initiatives really put a heavy emphasis on how we empower women of color to make sure that they are rising up into the C-suite. Catalyst to me is the gold standard of empowerment for underrepresented communities.

    Cid Wilson

    CEO, HACR

  • I mean, when you hear something from Catalyst, you know that it's going to be good. You know that there's going to be data and resources to back it up and support it. They are the paramount company when it comes to advancing women in the workplace.

    Angela Bretz

    SVP, Human Resources Business Partner, Nationwide

  • We've now put about 400 people leaders -- mostly men, of course, [participate in MARC] as we know the formula: It's about 80% men, 20% women in workshops – and frontline leaders through the workshop. We're seeing a difference, especially in some of the organizations that have put more of their people leaders through.

    Vivian Yoanidis

    Senior Manager of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Hydro One

  • One of the ways that Catalyst has really partnered with us is helping us think about what the future of diversity, equity, and inclusion work looks like for us and how we're able to achieve it in a way that gives us a global lens based upon national and truly global best practices.

    Davis Bubas

    Senior Director, UPMC Center for Engagement and Inclusion

  • Like many others, we were just not aware of the biases that we had and the impact that has had on women in our workplace…and with that awareness comes understanding, and through understanding, then you’re empowered to act.

    Tuong Lee

    Technology and Innovation Executive, Enbridge

  • MARC was an awakening....it equipped me with the skills to feel like I had the courage to engage in these [difficult] conversations and to question everything I knew and that I had been conditioned with.

    Alex Lambros

    Asset Development Engineer, Global ERG Leader, Chevron
