As we all know by now, the COVID-19 pandemic has greatly impacted the economy, and working women have experienced more than their fair share of economic losses. For starters, the industries that employ more women, like retail, healthcare and hospitality, were hit very hard by the pandemic. Second, the mass closures of child care centers and schools have forced many women to leave the workforce to care for their children. In fact, between February 2020 and August 2020, mothers of children 12 years and younger lost 2.2 million jobs, compared to the 870,000 jobs lost by fathers. So what can we, as industry leaders, do about it and implement within our own company? In this enlightening discussion, you’ll hear from three leaders working to turn this issue around, and leave with new ideas and concrete steps to implement now.
