Bozzuto Named 2018 Top Company for Executive Women

GREENBELT, Md., March 07, 2018 -- The Bozzuto Group has been named one of the Top Companies for Executive Women by the National Association for Female Executives, which recognizes American corporations where women have significant clout to make the decisions that affect their company’s future and its bottom line. The NAFE Top 70 Companies, released today, is featured in April/May issue of Working Mother. The full report on this year’s winners are listed here.

“Greater presence of women in leadership positions is absolutely critical to advancing gender equity in the workplace, and we do not take that responsibility lightly. Embracing diversity of thought, background and culture has been part of the fabric of The Bozzuto Group since our founding,” said Bozzuto President and CEO Toby Bozzuto. “Increased representation, visibility and access to women leaders will create change in workplace policies in ways that benefit both men and women, inspire creativity and innovation, and attract a more diverse workforce.”

Subha V. Barry, senior vice president & managing director, Working Mother Media, says, “NAFE’s Top Companies shows us what progressive organizations are doing to ensure women’s advancement into executive positions. This year, noting increased enrollment and more companies with high scores, we decided to enlarge the list by 10. Areas such as number of female CEOs and promotions at every level illustrate improvement. However, while there is increased CEO engagement in making sure women have the best chance to become leaders, we also note there has also been a dip in key indicators like top earners, which needs to be addressed.”

About the Methodology
The 2018 NAFE Top Companies application includes some 200 questions on female representation at all levels, especially the corporate officer and profit-and-loss ranks. The vetting process includes tracking access and usage of programs and policies that promote the advancement of women as well as the training and accountability of managers in relation to the number of women who advance. In order to be eligible for the NAFE Top Companies survey, entrants must have a minimum of 1,000 employees, two women on the Board of Directors and be a public or private company. NAFE also separately names the Top 10 companies in the nonprofit sector.
