Apple, Google, and the 15 other best companies for women

It really doesn't take all that much to be a good employer to the women in your company.

Treat them with the same respect you show your male employees, show them that they're a valued resource by paying them and promoting them on par with their male counterparts, nix the boys club vibe and foster a more inclusive culture, and you'll be well on your way to gaining their loyalty.

Sadly, lots of companies continue to struggle with this.
