After breaking into a STEM field, women are still faced with a number of systemic barriers. Navigating through these eras of life, like entering the workforce and parenthood, each bring their own challenges. These issues range from struggling with infertility, working while pregnant, postpartum re-entry, supporting a partner going through these phases, and managing work life alongside parenthood. These may be seen or unseen and leave an employee thinking "I gave to you my best and we both know you can't say that," which then inhibits employees from bringing their best selves to work. Join our speakers as they share their stories and discuss support options for working parents as well as how company culture and workplace environment can not only ease these moments, but even enable employees to "come back stronger than a '90s trend."
Learning Objectives:
Describe ways employees can self-advocate for workplace support while making career and life-stage transitions.
Explain how company culture and workplace environment influences recruitment, retention, and advancement of women in STEM.
