We went from a moment to a movement. The Girls’ Lounge was born after founder Shelley Zalis experienced the power of the pack in 2013. Zalis invited some girlfriends to join her at the male-dominated Consumer Electronics Show, and told them to invite their friends. About 50 women ended up walking the floor together. It was a “heartbeat moment” where the minority felt like the majority.
What started as an informal female gathering has turned into a movement that emphasizes collaboration and mentorship to activate real change. In addition to the Girls’ Lounge, The Female Quotient also offers research and strategy solutions for forward-thinking corporations to give companies and leaders the tools they need to design the culture they want. Our mission is to advance gender equality in the workplace. When you put women in any equation, the equation gets better.
Founded in 2013 by CEO Shelley Zalis, The Female Quotient focuses on four main tenets that are fundamental to making meaningful progress and creating accountability around equality within corporations. The big four are: close the wage gap, increase the visibility of women within corporations, develop programs that support caring cultures and create new tools to eliminate unconscious bias and eliminate barriers to achieving equality. Through collaboration and activating solutions for change, The Female Quotient empowers individuals and companies to champion diversity and equality to create more successful business outcomes.
The Female Quotient serves as a voice and destination for addressing equality in the workplace. When you put women in every equation, the equation gets better. We are creating a new algorithm for equality.
