Description:

COVID-19 prompted the “greatest exodus of women from the workforce in all of history,” explains Camille Olson, a Partner at Seyfarth Shaw and a Trustee of The Conference Board. In a new episode of CEO Perspectives, she joins President and CEO Steve Odland to discuss this alarming trend.

Tune in for insights on:

  • Reasons behind the exit: From caregiving responsibilities to childcare demands to heightened stress, why are more women leaving their jobs than ever before?
  • Overhauling outdated practices: Only 57 percent of women are currently participating in the workforce. What can companies do to better attract and retain female employees?
  • Policy at play: Would updates to federal and state laws help more women feel knowledgeable about their rights, and therefore more willing to stay at their jobs?
  • Generational shifts: The composition of workers is changing. Do millennial women approach work differently than their predecessors?
