How to Retain and Develop Female Leaders Post #MeToo

Presented by: Tracy Judge, MS, CMP, and Howard Cleveland

Every company is looking to hire women in leadership positions these days. Almost daily, there is an article online citing the business advantages to having women leaders in the c-suite and on the Board as well as the positive impact of diversity on team performance. While there has been a focus on diversity since the turn of this century, the progress made is uneven at best. While there are healthy numbers of women being hired at pre-managerial levels, those numbers tend to dwindle over time. The further up the hierarchy you look, the fewer women are represented. Even in the female-dominated Meetings & Events industry, it appears to be a problem.

Key Take-Aways:

1. Highlight the research on, and issues affecting, the attraction, development, and retention of women in business.
2. Examine the obvious and less obvious impacts of unconscious bias and how it affects women’s professional advancement
3. Identify how men and woman can amplify positive behaviors to combat bias in the workplace and grow female leaders of all ages and ethnicities
