As <a href="https://1851franchise.com/details/2705678/Entrepreneur-More-Women-Are-Entering-Franchising-and-It-s-Changing-the-Industry" target="_blank">women continue to enter franchising at a rapid pace</a>, a focus on gender&nbsp;equality in the workplace should top of mind for franchisors. A recent&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/07/80-percent-of-women-would-leave-a-job-for-one-that-offered-gender-equality.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=cnbc-80-of-women-would-leave-a-company-for-one-that-offered-better-gender-equality-2705838" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">CNBC article</a> cited a Randstad U.S. study that stated 50 percent of female respondents would leave a company if they found our their male counterpart&nbsp;earned 25 percent more than&nbsp;they did.&nbsp;

&quot;Change doesn&#39;t happen overnight,&quot;&nbsp;said Audra Jenkins, chief diversity and inclusion officer of Randstad North America. &quot;In order to move the needle in a meaningful way, it is the utmost responsibility of corporate leaders to invest in programs that will help retool and empower women for future success.&quot;

The survey also stated that 58 percent of women noted that lack of mentorship and a no clear path to leadership roles aided in workplace inequality. It&#39;s important for franchisors&nbsp;to keep these stats in mind to ensure all franchisees feel the same support as the industry continues to evolve.&nbsp;
