Corporate Subscription

Download the 2010 Corporate Subscription Package

Companies seeking to provide their female employees with professional development opportunities and strategies for personal growth are invited to consider subscribing to Women on Boards (WOB).

WOB is the leading online network for women seeking to enhance their career through directorship roles with public companies through to community and not-for-profit boards. More than 60 per cent of the 6,000 professional women in the WOB network already sit on boards.

There are significant benefits for both the corporation and individual in promoting directorship as a career opportunity for female employees:

  • Increases the capacity of female employees to develop professional and personal networks.
  • Builds their market and industry knowledge through exposure to a diverse range of issues from a different perspective.
  • Is a valuable professional development and employee retention strategy.
  • Creates a point of difference on the CVs of women needing to take time out of the workforce.
  • Adds value to corporate community outreach programs.
  • Creates business opportunities.

Both junior and senior women female employees benefit through a corporate subscription to WOB.

Junior employees are exposed to the idea that directorship can be part of their longer term career plan and supported to take small steps towards their goal through accessing NFP and other community sector board positions.

Senior women are provided with specific advice, networks and programs that assist them to achieve positions on higher-level boards and to seriously consider directorship as a post executive career.

Corporate subscription is available on two levels, Boardroom and Boardroom Plus and able to be tailored to individual company needs. More details are on the back of this brochure.

Dorothy Jakab from WOB is responsible for corporate liaison and will be the prime contact for day-to-day matters relating to your corporate subscription. She would be delighted to meet with you or appropriate representatives from your company in relation to the possibility of a partnership between our organizations. Her contact details are on the back of this brochure.

WOB looks forward to working with corporate Australia to improve opportunities for women in their careers and in the nation’s boardrooms.

“The University of South Australia has used membership of Women on Boards to provide professional development for senior staff, a way of thinking differently and to harness the myriad of academic and professional skills contained within the University for the good of the community.”
