Meet America's best employers for women 2021:
—making her the first woman to helm a major North American railway—Judy Carter, chief human resources officer at the Berkshire Hathaway-owned business, says the response was overwhelming. “I talk to people who say, ‘I need to be able to see myself to know that it’s possible, to keep me inspired and to know I work for a company that will promote women,” Carter says. “Our workforce responded to that.
The steps BNSF has taken to support its female talent are reflected in its standing on this year’s list, where it climbed 203 places to No. 6. But no firm’s rise was quite as significant as that of pharma giant Merck, which soared 212 places to No. 48.
Fidelity has taken a similar approach. Through a returnship called “Resume,” the Boston-based firm—which returned to the ranking at No. 9 after dropping off in 2019—has sought to attract female talent to the overwhelmingly male financial-services sector by offering flexible career paths.“We have tried to take advantage of some of that attrition that was happening in other industries,” says Wendy John, head of global diversity and inclusion at Fidelity. “Career paths aren’t very linear.
“A lot of what I’ve experienced has come from getting exposure to a lot of senior women leaders, which for me largely came through my involvement with the Women’s Leadership Group,” she says. “People get exposure that they might not otherwise get in the workplace. That’s been really valuable for me.”For Corey Yribarren, chief people officer at Sephora, the silver lining of this past year has been the exposure working from home has allowed her employees.
