women and Men in the workplace
Our first event is Niner Knowledge: Women and Men in the Workplace – Science-Based Solutions to a More Equitable Future. During this lunchtime webinar, Dr. Jill Yavorsky will discuss how men’s and women’s goals are often aligned in the workplace — that men and women alike want more more opportunities for career advancement; better work-life balance and job quality; less burn-out and stress, and so on.
Dr. Yavorsky will address what are the persistent barriers that women face in advancing in the labor market and how these barriers undermine fairness and job quality for all workers. Dr. Yavorsky will also discuss science-based solutions for jumpstarting gender progress and creating more equitable organizations for everyone.
