"Women have
insight into our customers that no man — no matter
how bright, no matter how hard working — can match.
That's important when 85
percent of all consumer buying decisions made in our stores are
made
by women. As we pursue a customer-focused approach to growth, the
insight, knowledge and expertise of women is invaluable — at every
level in the organization." |
