ATLANTA, GA, Feb. 6, 2020—Officials of Castell Project, Inc., a
501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the careers of women
professionals in the hospitality industry, today released the 2020 Women in
Hospitality Industry Leadership report.
Now in its third year, the report benchmarks the hospitality
industry’s performance in women’s careers in leadership.
“Even though a great deal of distance still needs to be covered to
reach true gender parity, we were delighted to find the pendulum starting to
swing in the proper direction,” said Peggy Berg, president, Castell
Project, Inc.
“We are
seeing an acceleration of women in leadership roles across the political, civic
and business spectrum.
"This is
supported by the pipeline of graduates coming out of colleges and universities,
by the strong and deep bench of female talent currently at work in numerous
industries, including hospitality, by the opportunities created as baby boomers
retire, by the share of wealth now controlled by women and by widespread
interest among both men and women in realizing the benefits of this cultural
shift.”
“It is heartening to have the statistical
information that demonstrates companies are beginning to take notice that
gender diversity is good for the bottom line,” Berg added.
“However, the
Castell Project is nowhere near its goal of seeing women in more than one of
three C-suite positions in every major hospitality organization.
"Research
continues to prove that companies with greater gender diversity are more
profitable and often can approach new issues and opportunities with a fresher
perspective made up of many differing voices.
"We look
forward to the day when our mission is complete, but will continue to track and
work diligently until we achieve those goals.”
