Redefining Networking in the Digital Age

Description:

According to research from Northwestern, women with networks of other women are likely to land jobs that are 2.5 levels higher than women without those groups. For women, networking has proven to increase job level and reduce the gender gap in leadership. Networking has been around since day one, but the way we communicate and connect is changing. The advent of digital technologies and social media has changed relationship building, and the way we we do business has evolved in an increasingly digital world. How do we take this age old practice of networking, which is crucial to career development (especially for women) and make it impactful and effective in a new, digital era? At Ellevate, we’ve created a new structure that helps women make impactful connections in this new era of business
