Topic: Female Retention  Presented by:  Patricia J. Lodato in the Engineering and Computer Fields
What encourages females                 to stay in the field/job?  Inviting workplace with sense of team involvement and flexibility Challenging work with opportunities for advancement Creativity Problem-solving Variety Job becomes part of identity Recognition and respect Happiness or role models (15+ years                          on job) Company investment in growth Money and benefits (“equity”)
What discourages females                to stay in the field/job?  Lack of flexibility (“rigidity”) Home/life balance Lack of mentors Lack of opportunities (not in “Old Boys’ Club”) Work assignment disparity Relocation (you or spouse) Society pressures Family/friends Colleagues Lack of support network Colleagues/managers Community (e.g., care for sick child solution) Working in a man’s environment “Queen Bee Syndrome”  Choice of family over work
What factors enable female engineers & computer scientists to climb the corporate/academic ladder?  Strong academic background Shifting norms Drive in school transfers to work SUPPORT! From family Mentors Candid and encouraging feedback from managers Ability to balance: Aggressive/assertive or  the “White Witch”  Advancement opportunity and desire
What factors disable female engineers & computer scientists to climb the corporate/academic ladder? Unable to self-promote Women thought to be comfortable in role longer than men are. . . . Or, women too impatient Women’s requests viewed as unusual Maternity leave: shut out of                                         promotion Fear of change/fear of overload Lack of non-discipline training “A tear or two is okay.” Be yourself
What factors disable female engineers & computer scientists to climb the corporate/academic ladder? Overload Social preference: Family over career Ego factor: Do I really need this promotion to be who I am? Stereotypes Men make fun of women’s networking                                                     Family-owned business: upward mobility normally centered on family members
What opportunities reduce employee engagement in engineering and computer fields? Longer tenure . . . Job no longer a challenge Constantly fighting fires . . . Unable to get to higher priority work Asked to participate in non job (or interest) activities Criticism by male peers for “networking” or participating in women’s conferences Past experiences: Goal not reached                 =disincentive for future participation The economy “Bell Curve ranking”
What opportunities improve employee engagement in engineering and computer fields? Supportive networks Compensation for education and certifications Permission to attend events like today’s on work time Opportunities to use skills/be innovative Cross-functional learning Trade shows Awareness of how your function fits into big picture Community outreach: “Feel good                                                 about my company”  Company seeking input                                                 and responding
