In-Person Event - Women in the Workplace: The Great Breakup

Description

We are thrilled to welcome everyone to our first in-person event since January 2020 and to gather as a community! The pandemic changed the workplace, possibly forever. Now in its eighth year, the latest benchmark annual report on "Women in the Workplace" by McKinsey & Company and LeanIn.org finds that we are in the middle of “The Great Breakup.” Women managers are leaving their corporate jobs at the highest rate in years—and at a much higher rate than men. Women executives say they are seeking more flexibility, better opportunities for advancement, and a commitment to diversity and inclusion. During this event, The WIT Network’s Co-Founders, Christine Bongard and Corinne Sharp, will lead us in a discussion to share our perspectives on this disturbing and very real phenomenon. Together we will share what are we seeing firsthand, and what can we do to prioritize employee well-being to better retain female talent. We will discuss why are women leaving and what can be done to reverse the exodus and how can we remain resilient during this time of uncertainty. It’s time to rise up and bring attention to this problem. Without women in leadership and management in technology, there are no role models for our younger generation. If companies don’t act, they won’t just lose their women leaders; they could risk losing the next generation of women leaders too.
