In the last couple of years we’ve witnessed a shift in employee behavior. In the pandemic landscape, employees are reevaluating their priorities and purpose at work. What do employers, executives and managers need to do to be successful in this new age of work? What should companies be focusing on in order to attract and retain talent? And why has this shift taken place – why have employees begun to reevaluate their priorities and be more selective about the companies they decide to work for? 

In this panel discussion, we’ll hear from a panel of professionals with experience on creating a culture of work that supports employee success and well-being.

Hard-working, high-achieving women aren’t afraid of high-stress situations. But chronic stress without rest and renewal puts even the most committed women at risk of complete and total burnout. During this workshop, Emilie Aries, Founder of Bossed Up, a career services company that equips women and marginalized people with the tools and community they need to create progress on their own terms, will lead us through creating strategies for effective long-term goal pursuit. Led by: Emilie Aries, Founder & CEO,  Bossed Up

WIT Luminaries are female tech executives and community leaders who join the event to share their leadership journey and lead our table discussions.
