Are Women's Careers More Vulnerable Due To COVID-19?

A great crisis provides opportunities for people to take the extra step to help one another. This webinar focuses on how we all can ensure that women’s careers are protected and built up as we engage Covid-19’s fundamental reorganization of the workplace.

Are Women's Careers More Vulnerable Due To COVID-19?

Women have long struggled for equity in the workplace, and this pandemic is exacerbating the challenge. Hospitality. Travel. Education. Non-profits. Healthcare. This downturn is disproportionally impacting industries largely staffed by women. More women are losing jobs, and those working at home face increased childcare demands. Women need help and support through this crisis, and they need it quickly.

Featuring a panel of female executives, this webinar will cover the biggest challenges facing women and how companies can mitigate the strains of the now normal. You’ll learn how:

• • Women can maximize their value during the pandemic.
• • Leaders can engage their peers to help women’s advancement during this pandemic and beyond.
• • Female leaders can support emerging women leaders and each other during this time of isolation.
• • Best practices for implementing crisis communication, and how it affects women differently.

This webinar is for leaders and emerging leaders of all backgrounds and identities from all industries. Participants will gain insight into the gender and ethnic disparities being exacerbated by the pandemic, and how they can take an active role in building a better future for women in the workforce.
