You're invited to join the Columbus Women's Commission for a two-part series examining the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women.
The COVID-19 pandemic has been devastating for women in the workplace and has substantial implications for gender equality. Within the last year nearly 3 million women in the U.S. have left the labor force resulting in loss of pre-pandemic achievement gains made by women.
As the nation and companies look at economy recovery, what strategies are being considered to support women’s return to the workforce?
During the first webinar, Wednesday, September 29, 2021, Elyse Shaw of the Institute for Women’s Policy Research (IWPR) will provide a thorough overview of how the pandemic has affected women’s work experiences, economic security, and wellbeing. With local leaders, we will understand how women in our community have navigated the economic crisis, and what gaps persist.
This webinar is open to the public.
Part II- November- More details to come!
In the second webinar, we will examine practical tips and actions that individuals, employers and organizations can take to advance gender equity in the economic recovery. Attendees will develop an action plan with three practical actions to take in their own organizations and consider metrics to chart their progress.
This webinar is exclusive for the Columbus Commitment Adopter Network. If your employer has not signed the Columbus Commitment Pledge, click here for more information and for the opportunity to participate in resource sharing and learning sessions.
