Event details

Join us for the next installment of our “Career Conversations” series, convened by Accenture, where we will discuss what equality looks like in today’s workplace. Four women professionals – spanning backgrounds and timezones – will discuss how together we can fight the ‘she-cession’ and support working women who are getting back into the workforce post-pandemic.

Attendees will learn:

  • What equality in the workplace really looks like

  • How companies can help support women employees

  • Strategies for balancing responsibilities and taking care of yourself

  • How to feel more capable and equipped at work
