Women in frontline, or “pink collar,” roles form the backbone of many industries, yet they continue to face significant and unique challenges and inequities in the workplace. These roles, particularly in retail, manufacturing, and hospitality, often have high turnover, low morale, and low levels of psychological safety.
When companies prioritize the needs of pink-collar workers, they not only enhance employee well-being but also boost overall organizational success. By reducing turnover by just 10%, companies can save $4-$7 billion in these industries.
By implementing inclusive practices and providing the necessary resources, businesses can foster a culture of equity and support that benefits all employees from the factory floor to the boardroom.
