Poka-Yoke Solutions is a Woman-Owned award winning Operations Agency!
While we help our clients make leaps and bounds, we are making sure to find the time to celebrate our own achievements, accomplishments, and leaps and bounds!
Without further ado…
-
We are certified as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) through the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), the nation’s third-party certifier of businesses owned and operated by women.
-
Poka-Yoke Solutions was named one of PA Business Central’s Women in Business 50-Women Owned Businesses to follow! (Oh, and Erica was named Top CEO for PA Business Central’s Women in Business!)
-
Last, but not least… We are a government certified woman owned small business (WOSB)!
While one of our superpowers is distilling clarity in the complexity between processes, systems, and people, it’s also being a woman founded, owned, and operated agency.
Here are some facts and figures that put the gusto behind our enthusiasm and excitement for being a Woman-Owned small business (because the world needs more of it):
- A New York Times article in 1984 reported that 2.5 million businesses were owned by women. In 2019, nearly 13 million of all U.S. businesses are owned by women.
- According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), in 2019, only 28% of new U.S. businesses were started by women. In 2021, the number increased to 49%.
We are opportunity creators, because when woman-owned businesses thrive, so does our society. When women lead, more than just women reap the benefits. We all do!
- Female-led businesses help drive our economy forward and create jobs. In 2019, the American Express State of Women-Owned Businesses Report found that employment at women-owned businesses grew by 8% while total job growth for all businesses was only 2%.
- By supporting women-owned and operated businesses, you could also be helping your community here at home. According to data from McKinsey, women reinvest 90% of their income into their families and the local community.
We are innovators, trailblazers, and visionaries.
