NEC Members Invited to Participate in Women’s Leadership Impact Study
The New England Council encourages members to participate in the 2025 Women’s Leadership in MA Impact Study presented by The Women’s Edge, the 7th annual state-wide study focusing on understanding employers’ actions to retain and advance women employees in Massachusetts. The survey will be open through the end of June 2025.
The survey will take approximately 20 minutes, and focuses on three areas:
- Assessment of the metrics of the leadership pipeline in your organization
- Allocation of resources to leadership development programs for women
- Measuring success/effectiveness of leadership programs, specifically around the development, retention and advancement of all women
The Women’s Edge partners with the nationally recognized research firm Researchscape to conduct the research and provide the analysis for this project. For validity of the research, each organization will receive a unique URL to access their copy of the survey – please feel free to forward and/or share this message within your company. You can preview the questions on The Women’s Edge website, and their 2024 report is available here.
All responses will remain confidential. If you choose to request a copy of the final report, the only piece of data shared with The Women’s Edge will be your email address.
The Women’s Leadership Impact Study is a longitudinal survey, conducted annually, on the status of women’s leadership across the Massachusetts business community. The goal of the Impact Study is to better understand and report on practices and challenges for the effective development, retention, and advancement of women in companies across the state. This summary report will be featured at a program in November 2025.
