            About the Event:

            To achieve top performance, today’s professionals need to be engaged. They also want to be heard and supported in advancing their careers. This is especially true as organizations everywhere continue to evolve and redefine themselves—and as employees rethink their relationships with the world of work.

            The AMA Women’s Leadership Center (WLC) will host and report on recent research findings on engagement in the workplace and discuss why developing and engaging women is now even more critical for every organization.

            During this interactive session featuring expert guest speakers, your input will be welcomed as we explore engagement challenges that include differences among genders in the workplace relevant to career growth, promotions, ability to be heard, taking on extra responsibilities, setting boundaries, and more.

            You will discover:

            • Differences in gender perceptions and the challenges/risk associated
            • Strategies to retain and engage top talent through development and fair practices
            • How to create more equitable environments

            Agenda:

            • 9:00 am Breakfast and Networking
            • 9:30 am Welcome and Discussion
            • 10:45 am Additional Networking
            • 11:00 am Adjournment

            If you’re a leader of people or leading a women’s development program, or an HR, L&D, training or diversity, equity and inclusion professional—this event is for you!

            While this event is complimentary to attend, registration is required.
