Women in the Workplace 

Friday, January 27

12-1 p.m. EST

This year’s McKinsey/Lean In report focuses on the higher rate at which women are switching companies and the implications that has for companies. Of course, women (and men) move to new companies for a variety of reasons, but recent drivers, according to the report, have to do with factors such as lack of respect, microaggressions, and shouldering a disproportionate share of supporting employee well-being and inclusion. Click here to see the most recent talent pipeline of women in the workplace.

Join Inforum members and guests as McKinsey partner Stacey Haas presents the report’s findings. After her presentation, Jill Dark, vice president of talent futures at Steelcase, and Kimberly Keaton-Williams, McLaren vice president of talent acquisition and development and chief diversity officer, will join Stacey in a discussion of what is happening in the workplace with a Michigan focus.

* Developed, in collaboration with a client and McKinsey Design, a new product from the process of defining the “white space” to the development of the consumer-tested working prototype.
