  The Center for Work-Life Policy (CWLP), a non-profit organization based in New York, has emerged as a thought leader in diversity and talent management, driving ground breaking research and seeding programs and practices that attract, retain and accelerate the new streams of talent around the world. The site focuses on identifying, developing and promoting a second generation of corporate policies and practices that support the ambition, work and life needs of highly qualified talent across the divides of gender, generation and culture. The major categories that were covered had mostly to do with women and breaking through the glass ceiling that have been in place for thousands of years.
  As I state above, the target audience for the website is woman of all ethnic background and leveling the field for pay, as well as, better job opportunities. What lead to believe this is that the opening page had numerous articles about woman here and afar. For instance, one article was named "Women in emerging markets", while another one was "top talent in China". However, the material is accessible to most people, at least with some form of education that wants to know about the struggles of working people and the perils they face when working for companies.
  I would have to say it's credible to a point because of the numerous reputable sponsors of the sites. The information is not free in most cases. If I wanted to learn and read up on a specific subject I may have to purchase a manuscript to read up on it. I would not think that this site is concerned with the distribution of this information because the site is a virtual market place to buy material. It only gave snippets of articles and then a link to purchase the rest of the material.
  It is very relatable to our class because it has articles about the gender bias throughout the working world and how woman have a glass ceiling to break through. I did find a snippet of an article on the research and publications link that was about the 70 most dangerous jobs out there, as well as, an article about working 70 hour work weeks
