Southwest Chapter Hosts Dr. Shirley Davis on December 2nd
The workforce and the marketplace continues to change dramatically. One of the most significant demographic shifts reveals that women hold the “majority” status in the global population, yet they still lag behind in key areas that contribute to economic sustainability and workforce inclusion. Many companies tout how much progress they have made in their diversity efforts because they have recruited more women and people of color, but if achieving representation is all that they do, and they don’t have a welcoming or winning workplace culture, their efforts will not be sustainable.
So what does it take to create this kind of culture—one that attracts top diverse talent, enables a more equitable and level playing field, and one that creates a WOW experience that makes great workers want to stay and do their best work? In this high-energy and engaging session, Dr. Shirley Davis, a leading global workforce expert will share the latest research and innovative strategies for how organizations can foster welcoming, winning, and world-class workplace cultures. She will offer some tips in leadership for how women can navigate their way up and across the organization to better position themselves for success in next level leadership.
