Keynote Speaker announcement
We are delighted to confirm that Dame Helena Morrissey DBE will present the Keynote Address at the Working Families’ Annual Conference
Why attend?
In this, the centenary year of women’s suffrage, there is still a lot of work to do to achieve a level playing field for women so we’ll be asking how employers are going to make a step change that leads to real results on gender equality. And we’ll be looking at the learning for employers from the results of the Modern Families Index research, which finds increasing evidence of a parenthood penalty, as fathers and mothers try to navigate flexible and family friendly policies within organisational cultures where traditional gender assumptions about who works and who cares are still present; nearly 1 in 5 mothers and fathers report having deliberately stalled their careers for family reasons.
Hear practical examples from experts and leading employers:
The conference will include a keynote speech, two interactive panel discussions and a speed networking session.
Panel discussion one: Moving the dial on gender equality includes speakers from EY, Barclays, Euromonitor International, NHS Employers and UBS.
Panel discussion two: Modern Families Index 2018 includes contributions from Working Families’ Head of Research, Jasmine Kelland, University of Plymouth and Denise Priest from Bright Horizons.
Attending this inspiring event will give you best practice examples, access to the latest thinking and solutions to key challenges to take back to your workplace.
Please note: this conference is for HR and D&I practitioners only.
