America is on the verge of the biggest workplace revolution since the Second World War. Women are more valuable than ever on the job, and are literally remaking the office to suit them. The most recent numbers show women now make up a majority of workers--in part due to the recession. During the recent rash of layoffs and downsizing, the 82 percent of the jobs lost in recent months have been those belonging to men. But there is also a pink lining to the current economy: around the globe, survey after survey reports that companies that employ more senior women actually make more money. Women are more inclusive, more focused on long-term results and, in many cases, better educated. But women don't want the same career track their male counterparts have carved. Women want more flexibility and are creating work lives to suit them – lives where they have time for children, elderly parents, friends, pets, marathons or just themselves.

Claire Shipman provides insight on how the contributions of women are reshaping the workplace and earning companies more money; how to create the right work life balance for yourself; and what employers should be doing to keep and recruit women.
