MEGA SESSION: What Women Want: Recruiting, Developing and Keeping 21st Century Women Leaders
Women account for 53% of entry level professional jobs, but only 37% of mid-management, 28% of VP/Senior Management, and 14% of Board and Senior Executive positions in the US. Despite improvements, most organizations fail to retain or promote female talent effectively. HR can play a decisive role in successfully engaging and developing women in the workplace.

You will learn:
· How to engage a multigenerational female workforce – Why they don’t all want to “Lean In”
· How to attract and onboard women for long-term retention
· The ROI of mentoring, employee resource groups, and other high potential programs
· What matters when addressing financial security and equal pay
· Key strategies for building a strong pipeline of female talent
