Invest in physical well-being: Women’s bodily safety, physical needs, well-being, and personal autonomy should be paramount. Facilities and policies must be designed or refreshed to accommodate women.

Adopt employee-centered scheduling practices: Companies must remove sources of instability, unpredictability, and rigidity from scheduling systems to account for women’s lives outside work.

Create and clarify growth opportunities: Companies must clearly communicate well-structured opportunities for growth and advancement that are designed to meet the needs of women.

Enable managers to lead empathically: Company leaders should enable managers of frontline employees to create positive environments so that employees feel valued, supported, and connected.

Hi [ Insert Leader Name ],

I recently read Catalyst’s latest research report that I think you will find informative.

Team Dynamics on the Front Line: How Managers and Organizations Impact This Overlooked Key to Retention is a comprehensive review of the role positive team dynamics play in turnover and employees’ experiences from the recruitment process through development and day-to-day work.

It’s the second report following Women on the Front Line: Enabling Them to Thrive, Stay, and Perform which addresses four key actions companies can take to support women in frontline roles.

Both reports are revealing and will no doubt allow you and your team to reflect on the unique needs of your organization. I’d love to hear your thoughts after you’ve read it.

Let me know what you think!
