The Estée Lauder Companies was founded by a remarkable female entrepreneur, Mrs Estée Lauder, who was a visionary and role model. This Women’s History Month, we honor Estée’s legacy, while championing the women who drive ELC’s business success today and cultivate the next generation of leaders. ELC’s robust community of Employee Resource Groups (ERG) includes the Women’s Leadership Network (WLN). Founded in 2017 with just 400 members in North America, WLN is now the company’s first fully global ERG with chapters in North America, EMEA, UK & Ireland, LATAM and APAC with more than 2,000 members. WLN offers its members a community that provides development opportunities through hosted events, mentorship programs and trainings, and is guided by four pillars: Business Alignment, Mentorship & Sponsorship, Professional Development and Philanthropy. In addition, the ERG has expanded to include sub-groups, including Women in Supply Chain and Women in Technology. WLN is led by Jane Hertzmark Hudis, Executive Group President, Tracey T. Travis, CFO, and Sara Moss, Vice Chair. The Women’s Leadership Network’s success is a testament to the vibrant culture that ELC provides women from all areas of the business to lead the change. Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day is a time when WLN and women across ELC rally to gather, share, and collectively demonstrate how they are leading the change. Employees are encouraged to attend events across the global business, and learn from colleagues and peers who are leading the change. This year’s Women’s History Month programming includes, but is not limited to: At ELC, we have a workforce of 82 percent women with over 50 percent of women at leadership levels. Almost half of our Board of Directors are women. Each day, our employees define what it means to be a woman today: they are scientists and mothers, CFOs and poets, coders and marketers, and much more. I lead the change by designing my own future, and I'm super optimistic about what comes next. Stephanie Herlihy Director, Global Store Design, Bobbi Brown In honor of Women’s History Month, we asked some of our employees to answer a simple prompt: how do you lead the change?
