Stop the Talent Drain: Retain Working Women in the Pandemic
Today, 1 in 4 women are considering downshifting their careers or leaving the workforce entirely.
As the pandemic continues, the workforce is seeing a mass exodus of women employees, from the top down, leaving to care for family and children. Even as workers are returning to work when allowed, women are returning at a much lower rate – opting to stay out of the workforce.
This talent drain is not expected to recover anytime soon.
Not only is your organization at risk of losing valuable talent, but diversity and inclusions efforts are going to be heavily impacted, too.
Join us for this 60-minute workshop to discover the short-term and long-term impacts of this workforce exodus on your employee base and recruiting efforts, as well as what you can do to retain your valuable women employees.
You’ll learn:
- How to stand out as an employer by standing up for your employees during this time of crisis
- Reasonable accommodations employers can make to help retain their women employees
- Ensure that your diversity and inclusion statements and efforts translate into your worker treatment and options
- Strategies to optimize momentum while not causing undue stress
