It's now time to sponsor women — to continue to mentor them, but to structure sponsorship programs and integrate them into companies so that women are championed and get a shot at the top jobs. This is real equal opportunity.

Introduction

Gender discrimination in the workplace isn't always outright and apparent.

Sometimes it occurs in subtle ways, such as a qualified female candidate losing out on a promotion to a less-impressive male colleague or an executive board that's made up of only men.

Though progress has been made, what more can be done to ensure women get the recognition they deserve?

Martine Liautaud, an international financial executive and entrepreneur, is an avid champion of inclusivity in the workplace.

Liautaud's book, Breaking Through: Stories and Best Practices From Companies That Help Women Succeed, provides an inside look at successful corporate strategies that uplift women professionally, such as mentorship, sponsorship, and open-minded leadership.
