Turnkey Search Study Reveals Dichotomy Of Men, Women In Sports Business Workplace

Turnkey Search Senior VP Carolyne Savini and Turnkey Intelligence Senior VP Steve Seiferheld co-presented the results of a study titled “Gender In Sports Business: Industry Perspectives on Where Women Stand in Hiring and Career Advancement,” at the 2014 Game Changers conference in NY. One of the results of the study centered on the question of happiness in the workplace. “Over the past few decades, there has been a lot of discourse about women in business,” Savini said. “As years have progressed, so have the demographics of women in the business office. As an executive recruiter, I see the dichotomy of men and women as they progress through their careers all the time. This is a topic worth time and discussion.” The study collected information from more than 400 sports industry professionals of different ages, positions and tenure, a list that was relatively split, in terms of gender. The study’s questions about happiness in the workplace revealed that 70% of men and 57% of women were happy in their careers. On questions about success and performance evaluation, 36% of men understood how their work performance would be evaluated, while only 24% of women did. Savini: “How can you measure your own success in your job if you do not know how your performance is evaluated? And, taking it a step further in your careers, how can you articulate to your boss why you deserve a promotion or a potential employer all the things you’ve done in your career and why you’re qualified for a job if you don’t understand how your own performance is evaluated? Over 75 percent of women in our industry do not know this, and this is a real problem.”
