Join Jennifer for her presentation, "KEEP GOING: The door swings both ways"!
DATE: TBD
The pandemic has caused people to reevaluate their priorities, values, and time. This has resulted in women checking themselves out the door, changing career paths or leaving employment all together, which has led to women attributing to over 63% of all laborers that walked out the door. This talk will share thoughts on why women exited, where we stand now, and how we are going to get those who want to return and rejoin the workforce hired.
During the pandemic, my life was turned upside down personally and professionally. There were times, I wanted to walk out the door. However, I made the conscious choice for my family and me, to remain where I could best contribute.
I will share with how you can gracefully ask for help, remain committed to success in the home and at work, and challenge you to do more for women in our industry. This talk will motivate you to keep going, not only for yourself, your families, but for all the women out there trying to walk back in the door.
