#IWD Accelerate Action: Enhancing Culture and Workplaces Where Women Thrive 

Women deserve more than just a single day to honor progress. Join us over breakfast during the month of International Women’s Day for an engaging morning of thought-provoking discussion, connection and celebration of women in work at this HR Community Showcase.

Join Robin Rosebrugh of Aura, Canada's leading workplace design and construction firm, and Serena Morphy, CPHR, SHRM of Awaken HR, to share practices that truly support and empower women. Aura brings the element of inclusive workplace design while Awaken HR adds subject matter expertise in proven people and culture strategies that boost female workplace engagement and performance.  

 

We’ll explore critical workplace topics effecting women such as, the gender pay gap, microaggressions, and leadership representation. We will dive into the future of work, with a focus on effective strategies for attracting, engaging, and retaining women in the workforce as well as the roles of mentorship and sponsorship. You’ll leave with practical strategies for fostering inclusive environments, advancing equitable policies, and ensuring women have the opportunities and support they need to thrive.

 

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights, hear inspiring stories from trailblazing women, share insight and connect with professionals committed to building workplaces where women can succeed. Join us on Thursday, March 13th, and let’s work together to create a more equitable future!
