Trends observed among this year's NAFE Top 30 include:

* 93 percent of Top 30 companies conduct employee surveys to determine
their satisfaction with advancement opportunities

* 90 percent of Top 30 companies review compensation data for gender
equity

* 87 percent of Top 30 companies adjusted policies and practices as a
result of survey responses

* 73 percent of Top 30 companies have formal compensation policies that
reward managers who help women advance

* 70 percent of Top 30 companies hold managers individually accountable
for helping the company meet its goals regarding women's advancement

NAFE's evaluation and selection process involved a look beyond corporate
programs and policies, purportedly dedicated to advancing women, to analyze
their results -- examining the number of women in the company overall, in
senior management, and on its board of directors. NAFE also scrutinized how
well represented women were among the company's top earners, and measured
every aspect of women's advancement, including support programs, succession
planning, and work-life balance programs .
