Women: Work and Life Well-Lived Workshop

A disturbing development in the U.S. workforce threatens the performance of many organizations: Despite more than 5 million available jobs, women are leaving the labor force in troubling numbers. In short, many women just aren’t interested in what most organizations are offering.

Now is the time for leaders to create modern workplaces that women want to join and contribute to. By attending the Women: Work and Life Well-Lived workshop, you will get an exclusive look at what Gallup’s research identifies as a desirable work culture for women — and how your organization can create this type of environment.

Who Should Attend

This engaging workshop is for executives who manage the financial outcomes of an organization, employees who hire and manage people, and anyone who influences organizational policymaking decisions.

What You Will Learn

By attending this workshop, you will learn how to effectively examine your organization’s culture so you can attract, retain and develop a more gender-diverse workforce.

In this six-hour workshop, you can expect to:

• discover what makes work worthwhile for women, according to more than 50 years of Gallup research and analytics

• examine your organization’s culture and practices as they relate to the demands of women today

• learn how to maximize your organization’s performance by engaging and retaining women in your workplace

Pay is less of a factor than other workplace attributes in women’s employment decisions.

Children are a major factor in women’s decisions to stay in the workforce or leave.
