INTERVIEW WITH KATTY KAY, CO-AUTHOR OF WOMENOMICS
Speak Up features an interview with Katty Kay, the BBC‟s Washington correspondent. She is also the co-author, with Claire Shipman, of the book, Womenomics: Write Your Own Rules for Success. We asked her about the book: Katty Kay: The book talks about the power that women have ∈ the workplace. We did research which showed that the more senior women a company employs, the more money they make. And we‟re arguing ∈ the book that a lot of women don‟t realise how much value they have ∈ the economy, how much influence they have ∈ their companies, and that they can use… we think they can use that value and that influence to try to get more time, to work more flexibly, because a lot of women, professional women, find that, when they have children, it‟s very difficult to do the 60-hour week careers that American life, and professional life, demands. And what we‟re saying is, “Listen, you are very valuable to your company: you might not know that you are very valuable, but you are very valuable, you bring ∈ money. Now you can go to your boss and say, „I need to work more flexibly. You want to keep me? You need to let me work ∈ the way that I want to work.‟” And actually, companies that have let women work more flexibly, find great results. So we argue that this is a very good time for women to be ∈ the workforce, it‟s a very powerful time for women to be ∈ the workforce, and that they can change the way that they want to work.
