This is interesting … A study by Syracuse University found that when more women are in executive levels at corporations, those corporations tend to have employees who behave better. For example — the researchers found that NFL teams with more female execs saw a drop in the number of player arrests. And NFL teams with a “critical mass” of women (two or more) in executive positions had a 21% decrease in criminal incidents. And it’s not just the NFL or sports teams — it’s all corporations and organizations. The researchers say their findings also have implications for organizations beyond those employing professional sport players, particularly visible organizations with high-profile employees, such as media and entertainment companies; and public-facing entities such as courts, schools, and government entities.
And another case for hiring more women … A Harvard study found that women are better doctors. According to the study, patients in the hospital who receive care from a female doctor are less likely to die and are also less likely to be hospitalized again, than if they were seen by a male doctor.
