Federated Department Stores and Procter & Gamble Co. have been named to the "Top 30 Companies for Executive Women" list compiled by the National Association for Female Executives (NAFE). The two Cincinnati-based firms were the only Ohio companies to make the list.
The NAFE based its choices on factors that included the number of women in senior management and on boards of directors, as well as how women ranked among each company's top five earners.
At Federated, which was ranked among the top 10 in the NAFE listing, 70% of management positions are filled by women, and more than 50% of senior managers are women. The company also has three women on its board of directors.
