In a year marked by crisis and uncertainty, corporate America is at a crossroads. The choices companies make today will have consequences on gender equality for decades to come. The pandemic has intensified challenges that women already faced with balancing childcare, school, household labor, and a full-time job. Companies risk losing women in leadership—and future women leaders—and unwinding years of painstaking progress toward gender diversity. But, the crisis also represents an opportunity. If companies make significant investments in building a more flexible and empathetic workplace, they can retain women leaders and nurture a culture in which women have equal opportunity to achieve their potential over the long term. And, women have unique leadership capabilities that position them well to thrive in the rapidly evolving global workplace transformation. From remote work to flexible schedules and the gig economy, Debby Carreau, CEO and Founder of InspiredHR, will discuss how to leverage your unique strengths to accelerate your career in this uncertain time.
