Women in the global workplace
The future is female
The global workplace is at a tipping point. While technology and flexible arrangements are leveling the playing field, significant barriers for women linger, from a persistent pay gap to promotion bias – all ‘broken rungs’ on the career ladder.
But change is here. Women aren’t just adapting to the future of work – they’re actively creating it, leveraging new systems and structures to redefine leadership and success on a global stage.
Join us for an illuminating conversation with Jennifer Briede, VP of Client Solutions at Multiplier, and Erin Grau, Co-founder and COO at Charter. These two powerhouse leaders will explore how women are reshaping pay, power, and leadership in the global workplace.
They’ll dissect the critical issues, from the fact that women working remotely earn approximately 79% of what their male counterparts earn, to how emerging technologies and AI are creating both new opportunities and challenges.
This session moves beyond the problems women face to deliver actionable solutions. Discover how global payroll platforms can expose pay gaps, how female leaders are mentoring the next generation, and what practical strategies women can use to advocate for themselves.
This isn’t just a talk; it’s a blueprint for building a more equitable, innovative, and limitless working world for everyone.
Key takeaways
- Women still face persistent bias and shoulder the unrewarded emotional labor of caregiving in the workplace
- AI presents a critical opportunity for women, serving as a way to upskill and also offload unseen administrative labor
- True workplace equity hinges on flexibility, which is the key to closing the global pay and opportunity gap
