Women in the Workplace: Building the Business Case
The importance of women in the workplace has been a prevalent conversation for decades — and our female workforce is crucial when it comes to a business's success and sustainability. Yet, some organizations still fail to create an environment that empowers and leverages their women. Whether it’s an unconscious bias or a glass ceiling, women are faced with challenges when it comes to gender discrimination, pay disparity, representation, leadership status, recognition, and inclusion.
That’s why we hosted Teri Hassell, Region VP of HR at Sysco. Together, we discussed how organizations can increase performance and business sustainability by empowering their female workforce.
Together, we explored:
The impact of the pandemic on women
Challenges facing women in the workplace
Creating an inclusive workplace
Career development opportunities for female leaders
