The Women’s Leadership Initiative released its first comprehensive research study entitled Women in Leadership in the Real Estate and Land Use Industry. WLI wanted to fill a void in existing research on women in the workplace, which has until now primarily analyzed employees of Fortune 500 companies and has not looked at the nuances in real estate specifically. As such, WLI embarked on a comprehensive analysis of how women are faring in our industry and what approaches organizations can take to ensure a higher level of inclusivity in their leadership ranks. The study can be found here – http://WomeninCRE.uli.org/ – and includes survey data from 1,200 ULI members, case studies of organizations where our members work, and recommendations of strategies organizations can employ to embrace inclusivity.
