Hosted by Everwise CEO, Mike Bergelson, and joined by special guest Lauren Leader-Chivee, Founder/CEO All In Together Campaign Inc.
Leadership and diversity are the key drivers for successful innovation in the workplace. Women now account for 57% of the national workforce, yet in the tech industry for example, only 23% of leadership positions are held by women.
Gender diversity and innovation are hot topics today, but what does it really mean for the success of a business? Lauren Leader-Chivee argues that regardless of the size, industry, or business every company needs women at the top.
In this webinar, we covered:
- The connection between diversity and innovation
- The quantitative benefits for organizations to have women in leadership
- Suggestions for organizations to start implementing change to create a more diverse leadership team
