The article focuses on the Athena Factor: Reversing the Brain Drain in Science, Engineering, and Technology (SET), a study conducted by Center for Work-Life Policy (CWLP) on training and development programs designed for female employees in the U.S. According to the survey, 52% of female employees in SET careers quit their jobs. The researchers also found a great deal of inconsistency among companies that claimed to have individual development plans for their employees. Moreover, successful corporate programs directed toward female employees aim their solutions at various stages of the employment cycle.
