Leveling the Playing Field on the Golf Course

For the third year, Holt held their annual NY/NJ Holt Golf Tournament. Initially, this event was hosted by our Women of Holt employee resource group as a platform to educate women on how to navigate an industry golf events. It’s no secret that many business deals have been closed on a golf course. A whopping 90% of Fortune 500 CEOs play golf, and 80% of executives say playing golf enables them to establish new business relationships. Although only 20% of all golfers are female, 50% of executive women who play golf say being able to talk about golf allows them to be more successful.

Soon, the tournament transformed into one that focused not only on educating women, but on educating all staff who are unfamiliar with the sport. Holt is proud of our commitment to equity within the workplace. Creating equity is about removing barriers to ensure that all employees have equal opportunities to succeed and reach their full potential. The golf tournament is just one way that Holt works to achieve workplace equity.
