WIPN Announces Findings from Research on Attitudes and Behaviors of Women in the Retirement Industry

the study looks at a range of topics including the value of networking and mentoring, how to create a better work-life balance, a deep dive into compensation, and a discussion of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

“Our survey uncovered some key areas where the retirement industry can improve for women, especially when it comes to work-life balance and issues around Diversity, Equity and Inclusion,” said WIPN President Jennifer Norr. “A bright spot in the survey is around the importance of mentorship and how seven in ten women feel it played a role in getting to their current level of career achievement. As a core part of our WIPN mission, we are proud to be able to provide networking opportunities for our members.”

Among the key findings of the survey:

“WIPN created proprietary research to inform the national and chapter programming that our members highly value and depend on to grow their professional skills and personal views,” said Cindy Horn Kennedy, WIPN Programming & Research Chair. “We will share the findings at industry events and with the employees of our more than 50 corporate sponsors to advance the understanding of women’s roles, responsibilities and compensation.”
