Mary Abraham, a Canadian lawyer, summarizes a study of how companies can benefit in their hiring of stars by concentrating on women, for they thrive better than men when joining a new firm. See also the accompanying interview with the author of the study, Boris Groysberg.
Discovering the gender gap among star workers
How a researcher found that women thrive better in new jobs, and what he hopes to learn next
Boris Groysberg, assistant professor, Organizational Behavior unit, Harvard Business School.
Boris Groysberg of Harvard Business School explains how he came to quantify how — and explain why — female star financial analysts do so much better than men after changing companies. It’s because, in part, they sense vulnerabilities that men are blind to. And he asks for advice from women in all industries as he investigates further how women build successful careers.
