Launched in 2020, Women Lead Here is produced annually by the Globe and Mail Report on Business magazine. It uses a proprietary research methodology to identify Canadian companies that have achieved or are nearing gender parity in executive ranks. After evaluating approximately 500 Canadian companies, Report on Business identified a short list of companies at the forefront, determined by the level of representation of women in leadership positions.<\/p>\n

Women represent 70 per cent of leadership positions across every division at Extendicare and make up nearly 87 per cent of the company\u2019s total employee population.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are grateful for the incredible contributions made by our teams across the country, and today we celebrate the women across our organization, whether they serve in executive leadership roles or provide direct care to residents, patients and clients,\u201d says Leslie Sarauer, Extendicare Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer. \u201cTheir passion, dedication and hard work are essential to our ongoing efforts to improve care, every day for seniors, patients and clients, at a critical moment in health care.\u201d<\/p>\n
