For all women have accomplished, public corporations and institutional investors have historically placed agendas related to women in the social responsibility category. At the time of this, pushing forward diversity policies had only been engaged via social responsibility agendas and movements. Yet women know that women at multiple levels of participation make an equal contribution to that made by men to the value of corporate shares. Women remain locked in a struggle to achieve equal pay for their equal or sometimes superior contributions. Tara Kimbrell Cole proposes that the value placed on women's productivity will only be recognized and equal value be achieved until the issues surrounding diversity policies distinctly and directly demonstrate their impact on share value. This presentation and its related white paper were early calls for research on this subject.
