Elevate Equity: Increasing women's career expectancy

Elevate Equity: Increasing women's career expectancy

The Open University will host a business conference focusing on how employers can better support women’s careers. This event will bring together employers, thought leaders, and advocates to explore actionable strategies through three dynamic panel discussions and a networking lunch.

Agenda highlights:

• Panel 1: Re-engineering access in STEM and digital - with women underrepresented across these industries, this session explores how access barriers are shortening career expectancy before it fully begins.
• Panel 2: Why women leave female-dominated professions - high attrition and limited progression are shortening careers, highlighting that representation does not equal equity or longevity. 
• Panel 3: From longevity to leadership: supporting the move into decision-making – With women still underrepresented in senior leadership, this session explores how organisations can convert longer, more rewarding careers into leadership and senior roles.
