DWA HCG strives to be a leader in supporting women in executive roles. At DWA HCG, women represent 75 percent of all employees and 57 percent of all executives. Promoting these accomplished individuals, Wood said, brings value and experience to clients while also offering inspiration to employees, particularly those who are early in their careers.

“At DWA HCG, we foster an environment where women are supported in their pursuit of leadership roles,” Wood stated in a press release. “As an organization, we aggressively support gender equality and work-life balance. Managing children, family and household demands can be an obstacle to career growth for both men and women. By prioritizing work-life balance, we empower all of our employees to reach personal and professional goals.”

DWA HCG ranks among the top 25 women-owned businesses in Indiana and is certified by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council.
