What managers can do to keep women in engineeringTools Fernando, Dulini, Cohen, Laurie and Duberley, Joanne (2018) What managers can do to keep women in engineering. Harvard Business Review . ISSN 0017-8012 Full text not available from this repository.AbstractEngineering faces a serious gender-based retention problem.

Much has been written about why women in the field leave, but researchers wanted to better understand what encourages women to stay. In-depth, one-on-one interviews with 34 women engineers in two UK firms found that certain forms of support, such as stretch assignments, personalized feedback, and an inclusive environment, made it easier for these women to succeed in the field.
