FGB’s Most Inspiring Events Yet: Inspiration Summit & 5 Ways Leaders Can Reach Diversity Goals

On our mission to elevate women at work, Fairygodboss understands that a multi-prong approach is a must. That’s why our career community helps millions of women navigate the workplace and their careers, and our employer partnerships help major US companies attract women to their workplaces. 

As new reports come to life during Women’s History Month highlighting additional effects of the pandemic - women are now at 1980 employment levels and backslid 22 years on equal pay - Fairygodboss is excited to share two upcoming events.

5 Ways Talent Leaders Can Set & Reach Diversity Recruiting Goals  

Earlier this month, we launched our latest research, The State of Diversity Recruiting in 2021. The report found that 98% of companies consider diversity recruiting a top priority. Yet, only 55% have tangible diversity recruiting goals, and less than half have D&I leaders. 

As companies look to set and achieve goals, many don’t know where to start or have insight into what’s working along the way. That’s why we’re partnering with HR, talent, and D&I leaders across technology, financial services, and manufacturing to break down what leading companies are doing to set and achieve diversity recruiting goals. 

Join us on April 7th from 1 to 2pm EST to hear from SAP’s Margot Goodson, ON Semiconductor’s Alicia Scott, Moody’s Nigel Williams, and BD Biosciences’ Nita Hendrickson on: 

• Setting diversity recruiting goals 

• Diversifying candidate pipelines and slates 

• Amplifying employer branding to attract women 

• And more

If you’re wondering what companies like yours are doing to set and reach diversity recruiting goals, register here now.
