Glenda Stone TOP 50 quote

Dr Glenda Stone, CEO of Aurora that manages the annual TOP 50 initiative said:

"Now more than ever, women are really concerned about making correct career choices. They lead complex lives and work simply has to 'work out' for them.

Women's equality has improved significantly over past decades, but it is the market leading organisations that are continuing to attract significantly more brilliant women than their competitors. Women have choice, and with choice comes complexity. Reliable information that guides women's career choices is enormously valuable.

It is critical that organisations remain at the forefront of potential female candidate's minds, building trust, maintaining reputation, supporting targeted female communities."

The TOP 50 is not about organisations for women or jobs for the girls. Nor is the rise of women about the fall of men. The TOP 50 is about providing insightful information about 50 of the UK's progressive employers. Women can now research and compare organisations based on their own needs and interests before choosing where to work. This is why Aurora also launched the highly successful wheretowork.com company careers comparison website that features progressive organisations. The TOP 50 provides further information.
