The data speaks volumes: Achieving gender equity in the workplace benefits not only women but also businesses, society, and culture as a whole. Despite these advantages, companies are falling short in retaining female talent.

Women in Work Seattle aims to be a catalyst for change. By examining barriers women encounter at various biological life stages, the summit seeks to unite a diverse array of perspectives, case studies, and cross-industry expertise. Our goal is to foster a constructive dialogue on how businesses can not only attract and retain female talent but also ensure their advancement within the workplace.
