THE EUROPEAN VIEW ON CAREER STRATEGIES
In a 2002 study by Catalyst, men and women agreed on the top strategies for career advancement:
1. Taking initiative (women - 94%; men - 91%).
2. Having recognized expertise in a specific content area.
3. Having job assignments that are highly visible to key decision-makers.
4. Consistently exceeding performance expectations.
5. Developing and adhering to one's own career goals.
Many women point to the availability of flexible work arrangements at
their companies, but most believe that managers are not able to take advantage
of them. While acceptance of formal flexible work arrangements is viewed
as limited, the women interviewed described informal, day-to-day flexibility
as well-established.
