As of 2023, women make up only 29.5% of all salespeople in the U.S. while 70.5% are men. Similarly, according to the National Association of Manufacturing (NAM), women make up about 29% of the manufacturing workforce — quite a rise from year’s past — but still a significant minority compared to men.
The PHCP-PVF industry is certainly still male-dominated, but there are significant improvements being made. Now more than ever before, PHCP manufacturers, distributors and associations are taking a hard look inside to achieve better representation and diversity throughout out industry. Adding more diversity to the workforce is only part of the battle; women — and employees in general — need to be engaged with your organization and empowered to grow their careers.
