For the seventh time, Baird has been honored as one of the Best Workplaces for Women by Fortune® and Great Place to Work®.
This recognition represents our commitment to creating an environment where all of our associates can thrive. We remain dedicated to making Baird a great place to work for women and partnering with Ascend to continue boosting their mission throughout the firm.
Steve Booth, Baird Chairman & CEO
To determine the Best Workplaces for Women, Great Place To Work analyzed the survey responses of nearly 600,000 women who work for Great Place To Work Certified™ companies that were eligible for the list. To be considered, a company must employ at least 50 women and have at least 20% of non-executive managers who are women and at least one executive who’s a woman. In the Great Place to Work survey, 97% of Baird’s female associates said the firm is a great place to work.
Baird’s Ascend Associate Resource Group works with leaders across Baird to support the firm’s goal of becoming the employer of choice for women. Ascend focuses on expanding leadership opportunities at Baird for women, promoting their voices and perspectives both inside and outside the firm, and recruiting, developing, and retaining the best women professionals in the industry.
