The Catalyst CEO Champions for Change initiative was celebrated
today at the 2017 Catalyst Awards Conference and Dinner in New York
City, where Rockwell Automation was named the 2017 Catalyst Award
winner for the company’s innovative organizational approaches that
address the recruitment, development and advancement of women and
have led to proven, measurable results.
“Change must start at the top, where leaders commit to
measurable results and hold our teams accountable,” said Moret.
“Through this program, Rockwell Automation and the other founding
companies will drive a culture shift that advances gender equality
in the workplace, where all employees can and want to do their best
work every day.”
