Help! We're Losing Women!
Recent gains in striving for gender parity in corporate America have reversed. The pandemic has caused up to 2 million women -- especially senior women, BIPOC women, and working mothers—to leave the workforce. This will result in less diverse workforces and lost innovation, as well as over $1 trillion in lost GDP growth by 2030 if the trend continues. This session explains how and why the coronavirus has driven diverse women to unemployment, explores women’s experiences of discrimination when they were employed, provides best practices for companies to reverse these trends, and highlights the critical importance of male leaders in driving the process.

This talk uncovers the roots of Islamophobia, its manifestations and accommodations in the workplace, its impacts on colleagues and clients connected to the $4 trillion global Muslim market, and recommended best practices for the workplace.
