Be Human, Be Available and Get to Know Your People
There are companies that have had success creating gender equality in the workplace. This is demonstrated by representation of nearly 50% or more women throughout all levels of leadership in the organization, including the executive level.
Are you curious to know exactly what is making the difference in those companies?
Hint: it might have something to do with the intention to be human first and foremost.
Meet Dana Sente

In this role, Dana identifies and oversees training and employee development for all property positions. She also works closely with the Company’s COO on ways to educate employees about corporate values related to ethics and responsibility.
