What to expect at the Women in Work Summit, New York

Retaining women at work is an economic necessity and the evidence demonstrates that advancing women at work is categorically better for business. So why do companies continue to fall so drastically short??

Critical life stages are holding women back. From menstruation to fertility (and infertility), to menopause; women are falling behind and losing out. Social stigma, lack of awareness and legacy cultures are just three reasons why businesses are unable to retain high-performing women at these inevitable life stages. And it’s costing them money.?

This October, the Women in Work Summit will deliver some of the most inspirational leaders in business who are making women’s health a priority, and seeing the positive impacts.?
