Women in the Workplace - How Male Advocates Can Help

Tuesday, December 7

Feeling burned out? You’re not alone. The 2021 Women in the Workplace report from McKinsey and LeanIn.Org reports women in corporate America are feeling more burned out than last year – and increasingly more so than men.

Even so, women leaders are stepping up to support employee well-being and diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts. And women’s overall representation improved across all levels of the corporate pipeline last year, although women, and especially women of color, have much ground to gain to advance at the same rate as men from entry-level positions.

Join us for a presentation by McKinsey and a discussion with C-suite leaders about what male leaders can do – and are doing  - to address burnout, strengthen the talent pipeline, and recognize the efforts of leaders who take on the extra work of employees well-being and diversity, equity, and inclusion.
