WOMEN@WORK 2023

Women have long played an essential role in shaping history, society and culture while bringing attention to gender discrimination, gender inequality and women’s rights. While some progress has been made for women in and outside of the workplace, there is still much to be done, and different parts of the world present unique challenges and opportunities. Even now, worldwide, women only make 77 cents for every dollar men earn.1 This can lead to a lifetime of income inequality between men and women.

Join Céline Boutier, French Professional Golfer; Kylie Baullo, General Manager, Australia and New Zeland, ADP; and Tunay Firat, Head of Strategic Partnerships, Action Coalitions, UN Women, for an insightful discussion on how advancing women and women leaders are taking place across the globe, including:
• What are some of the persistent challenges women are facing? How does it differ across the globe?
• What are some actions organizations can take to bridge the gender pay gap?
• How are laws and policies around the world impacting the roles of women?
• What policies can organizations implement to support women in the workplace? As a leader within your organization, this interactive session offers you the opportunity to develop and improve your strategies for building a global workplace where women thrive.

The succession planning pipeline has some missing links — specifically those connecting women and other underrepresented groups to leadership positions. According to a recent Deloitte study, fewer than 25 percent of women plan to stay with their employer for more than two years.

Why do women see themselves leaving the organization? What’s causing this massive consideration to leave? And what is different for the smaller groups deciding to stay? Once we know the causes, we can create solutions.

These may include:
• Pay equity and transparency
• Offering expanded women’s health benefits and lifecycle leaves of absence
• Quelling gender-focused microaggressions
• Using inclusive and accessible technology to help drive inclusion practices and leadership ascension across the board
• And more

Join us for this fascinating conversation with moderator Giselle Mota, Chief of Product Inclusion, ADP; Archana Gilravi, Senior Vice President, Strategy, Programs and Partnerships, Sheryl Sandberg and Dave Goldberg Family Foundation; Patricia A. Lee, President/Founder, P.A.L. Coaching and Consulting LLC and Sree Ratnasinghe, Director, Customer Solutions, North America, Amazon Web Services.

In our continually shifting work environment, employees expect leaders to do more to promote inclusion and support their career development and well-being. However, a recent McKinsey report found that about half of women say their manager encourages respectful behavior and less than half say their manager shows interest in their career development.

In this session, our panelists will discuss ways organizations can support professional development and ways women can empower themselves in the workplace.

Join us for an exchange of ideas around:
• Mentorship
• Compensation discussion and negotiating salary
• Navigating the benefits and challenges of remote and hybrid work
• Closing the gender pay gap
• Leveraging LinkedIn and social media to build a personal brand
• And more!
