Agency Celebrates Sixth Consecutive Year in the Top 10 and 12th Year on the List

ST. LOUIS, November 16, 2021 — FleishmanHillard was named to Seramount’s 2021 Top 75 Companies for Executive Women list today for the 12^th consecutive year, also being recognized in the Top 10 for the sixth year. Seramount continues to explore ways organizations can move more women executives into top positions, while highlighting the successes at these trailblazing companies. 

Previously compiled by the National Association for Female Executives, this is the most definitive list of top workplaces for women who want to advance through the corporate ranks. It celebrates companies that champion women’s advancement, with a focus on succession planning, profit-and-loss role, gender pay parity, support programs and work-life balance programs. 

“Championing women and the development and growth of their careers has long been a cornerstone of FleishmanHillard,” said John Saunders, president and CEO of FleishmanHillard. “Being recognized yet again as a Top 10 Company for Executive Women is a testament to all of our amazing female colleagues, their brilliant work and the impact they have on our firm, our clients and the communities we serve.” 

FleishmanHillard has an unwavering focus on inclusion — appointing, supporting and recognizing its female colleagues. Examples of these efforts include:

• 72% of U.S. offices are women-led 
• 68% of the leadership Cabinet is female 
• 50% of C-suite positions are held by women
• Half of FleishmanHillard’s global practice and sector groups are led by women

“Our 2021 Top 75 Companies for Executive Women initiative reveals encouraging increases in the number of women who are in senior leadership roles and running major divisions,” says Dr. Betty Spence, Head of Women’s Advancement at Seramount. “We have noted a correlation between these increases and new emphasis placed on formal sponsorship programs at 68 percent of the Top Companies, and we applaud their efforts in ensuring that women have advocates for their advancement.” 

The full list of companies can be found here.

Methodology

The 2021 Top 75 Companies application includes more than 200 questions on topics including female representation at all levels, but especially the corporate officer and profit-and-loss leadership ranks. The application, based on 2020 data, tracks and examines how many employees have access to programs and policies that promote advancement of women and how many employees take advantage of them, plus how companies train managers to help women advance. To be considered, companies must have a minimum of two women on their boards of directors, a US-based CEO, and at least 500 US employees.
