Event details
Women’s History Month celebrates the successes of female leaders across time and highlights the contributions of women across industries. While we tend to remember big names in big business, however, it’s important to reflect on all of our efforts and experiences. Women of every background, at every level, in every profession can make an impact—and they do every day. You, too, can help advance other women in the workplace while climbing in your own career.
We’re sitting down with leaders at Jabil to talk about how to support women in the workplace, whether you’re a leader who can inform your company’s policies or you’re a dreamer working toward your own goals. In this webinar, you’ll learn about:
The workplace benefits and resources that truly support women’s advancement
How to be a better ally and advocate for your peers
How to lift other women up alongside you as you advance in your own career
Ways to celebrate Women’s History Month in your workplace
