The data strongly supports that what is good for women is good for business. But most organizations aren’t equipped with the knowledge and/or the tools to act on this. Women in Work Seattle is designed to help executive leaders accelerate change in gender equity in the workplace to impact productivity along with employee attraction, retention, and satisfaction.
Learn how to foster equitable cultures, embed policies which support women in your organization at critical life stages (menstruation to menopause), hear what is working for others; and what isn’t, and understand tactics for sustaining momentum for women-led initiatives at all levels of the organization.
In its second year, Women in Work Seattle continues to be a catalyst for change. By uniting a diverse array of perspectives, case studies, and cross-industry expertise, the Summit fosters constructive dialogue and actionable insights that can help organizations drive business growth and competitive advantage.
