Return on Inclusion: Generations of Women at Work
Description:
McKinsey & Co. found that companies were 56% more profitable when women held executive positions. Stanford found that 57% of women leave the workforce. How can we reconcile these two facts? How can we shift the trajectory of the future? This panel of professionals in their 30s, 40s, and 60s will take a generational approach to these questions and more as they explore topics around the value of gender diversity, why empowering women matters, and how each generation is uniquely suited to effect change.
