Best Operators for Women in Cable
Few high-potential women are overlooked at Advance/Newhouse Communications, which has a strong track record of recruiting women of color in regional markets where they are well represented and promoting them up the ranks.
The operator trains its managers to detect leadership aptitude at every level, from installers to women with newly acquired MBAs. In addition to its human resources department, Advance/Newhouse charges its vice presidents, general managers and division presidents with the responsibility to ensure equitable pay practices.
It also has launched a new technical recruiting effort. Advance/Newhouse is building its own tech staff from the ground up by collaborating with a local technical college to shape a curriculum for an electronics engineering technology degree designed specifically for the telecommunications industry.
