Panel: Workplace Policy and its Impact on Women

WHEN: September 23 2021, 5:30pm - 7pm EST
WHERE: Online event

Please join us for a virtual panel discussion on workplace policies that can support or sabotage women

Want to know how to improve recruitment and retention? Keep an eye out for our next event and optimize the culture your policies create.
In September, it will have been a year since McKinsey released Women in the Workplace 2020. The report highlighted the outsized impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on working women. While the additive effects of a pandemic are new, organizational policies—both written and unwritten—being burdens or barriers to working women is an age-old problem.
​
Join us virtually on September 23rd at 5:30 for an hour-long panel discussion with Betsy Ferronato, Darah Palmer, Sara Piedmonte, and Natalie Pope, who have offered to share their knowledge on what works and what doesn’t. As we continue to learn what the future workplace will look like post-pandemic, we can gain some collective knowledge to make it more inclusive.
