PwC has celebrated a new edition of the Women to Watch program, which aims to support women managers to develop their potential and join the Board of Directors of leading companies. "We want to help motivated, trained and willing professionals to lead the change," they point out.

Women to Watch is an initiative that deepens roles both in corporate governance and in gender diversity, two areas in which PwC has been long acquainted with. In fact, the firm has its own Counselors Program and is distinguished by its active commitment to ensure that women have the presence they deserve in the areas of business management and governance.

“Women to Watch is a relevant project because we are at a crucial moment to move forward in the field of Corporate Governance, a field that can contribute a lot to the Spanish business community when it comes to promoting the incorporation of the best talent to key positions of companies,” said PwC sources. "The initiative emphasizes identifying executives who have a successful track record, who have exceptional potential and who deserve to be in the top-level positions of large companies," they add.

The third edition, developed between October 2018 and June 2019, has had an excellent response. During this period, the program has once again had a comprehensive approach, in which four areas of action have been worked on:

Training to provide the future counselor with useful and practical knowledge to successfully face their incorporation into a Council. In this sense, the contents focus on areas such as the state of the art of corporate governance, legislative developments, strategy or risk management, among other key issues. Thus, through face-to-face sessions by PwC professionals specialized in key issues for the directors, as well as with the contribution of documents with updated content, the essential materials are provided to access and maintain successfully in a Board of Directors of the 21st century. "The ultimate goal is to have solid knowledge but updated and attached to today's business reality," said its drivers.

Personal development, through a personalized plan that adapts to the potential of the participants. The jump from senior management to councils goes beyond technical knowledge and requires strengthening leadership skills. “Knowing how to draw up a realistic action plan, highlighting the aspects in which value is really added or improving the personal brand are revealed as key elements to achieve the objectives set”, stand out from PwC. In this sense, to help improve in these fields, Women to Watch incorporates a specific space where professionals specialized in these matters share with the participants the keys to boost their career.

Networking at the Women to Watch program incorporates forums and meetings that help strengthen ties and weave professional networks that help boost the career of the participants, who share experiences and points of view with the counselors, experts, headhunters and senior managers invited to the sessions held at PwC headquarters.

Mentoring In addition to developing an own, realistic and aligned action plan with its own strategy to access advice, the mentoring program generates lasting links between mentor and mentee that will help both strengthen their personal and professional development. “Each of the participants is assigned a mentor who will develop their work in a structured way and following a proven methodology that allows to achieve the goals set in their own personal action plan,” they explain from PwC.

In addition, in order to address the main issues that are addressed, discussed and elucidated in the Boards of Directors, Women to Watch incorporates a space for technical training in each of its six modules. Throughout the program, several PwC experts share with the participants the keys to the issues that every counselor should know in depth.
