Opening Session | The Pandemic Has Been Unforgiving to Women – Here’s How We Can Make a Difference (Room Oceanside C)

28 Sep 21
8:15 AM - 9:00 AM

Tracks: Women in Tech Breakout Session

The shift to remote work during the pandemic didn’t benefit everyone. Disproportionately, more female workers serving in hard-hit sectors and working moms and caretakers shouldering more than their fair share of responsibilities left women stressed and underrepresented in the workforce. Rebecca Henderson will share how companies can redefine work and implement technology to support female employees while rolling out various initiatives to give working women the skills needed now and in the future. Learn which strategies, technologies and programs have proved effective at Randstad globally, and hear Henderson, drawing upon her experience as a young, single mother who built a path to the corner office, describe how talent leaders can provide equal opportunities and empower women to fulfill their professional ambitions.
