Conclusion

The @Work Experience Framework identifies six daily work experiences that women need to thrive. The power of a framework is that it circumscribes and focuses what organizations should examine in their efforts to retain women. Central to these experiences is the role of the team and how they experience their participation, belonging, and value. As we have said, all measures of team involvement in our survey also correlate with people “thinking of leaving their job.” Retention is strongly related to how women experience daily interactions and collaborations with their team and co-workers.
