- In-person or virtualÂ
- Full-day or two-session
Early Career Women face numerous obstacles in the workplace.And gender is only one of them.
Your managers hold the key to clearing them.
Offering professional development like The First Five Program to women employees is a critical first step.Â
But until your work environment supports their new mindset and skills, they—and you—will be fighting an uphill battle.
Retaining Early Career Women in your industry requires specialized managerial skills.
That's because women navigating their first five years in a male-majority workplaces have multiple layers of "new" to overcome.
Gen Z in a Gen X World
Early Career Women approach their work from a different perspective and with different values than their older colleagues and managers.
When you're younger than everyone around you, it takes significant courage to offer a dissenting opinion or idea, and taking the initiative can feel like stepping on people's toes.
New to the World of Work
Early Career Women aren't just new to their specific job; they're new to full-time, professional work. In our post-COVID landscape, that's an especially daunting challenge.
They've not yet developed effective communication and conflict resolution skills, and they feel unsure about how to advocate for themselves in a professional setting.
Outnumbered by Men
In traditionally male industries, women are typically in the minority, so they feel like outsiders from the start. They're navigating an environment designed by men for men.
Culture has imbued them with limiting beliefs about where they do and don't belong, so they often resist sharing their ideas. Often, they don't realize gender bias is a contributing factor.
With supervision attuned to their unique needs, Early Career Women stay and grow.
That's what Support to Succeed will help you do.
Support to Succeed Workshop Topics
The Six Pillars
Early Career Women fully own their role when supervisors attend to six specific needs.
Safety
Recognize how gender stereotypes, bias, and norms and affect their participation in their role, team, and organisation.
Certainty
Know how to offer clarity, relevant information, and reassurance while managing expectations.
Self-Worth/Value
Understand the impact of gender on self-worth and provide opportunities that expand how they see themselves.
Connection
Adopt strategies to counteract the isolation women feel in male-dominated environments: Access, Repetition, and Commonalities.
Belonging
Increase retention by helping women see where they fit–through engagement, acceptance, and values alignment.
Trajectory
Provide visibility for Early Career Women's pathway within their role and the wider organisation.
Knowing what to do is good.
Actually doing it is transformative.

More women means better business.
The pursuit of gender equality is complex - from recruitment challenges to successfully getting women back from maternity leave to historical glass ceilings.
However, when leaders ask me what will create the strongest long-term change within their organisation, my answer never varies:Â
Focus on keeping and empowering the young women you already have.
The truth is, a large reason we're in this position (still 100 years to equality!) is because we tend to take the earliest part of the pipeline for granted. When women who are new to their careers feel like valued contributors, they'll stay long enough to be promoted into leadership positions, they'll attract other women, and they'll want to come back from mat leave.
Is it really that simple? I believe it is. And when you see what your early career women can really do with the support of the First Five Program, you'll believe it, too.
