What do gender and racial diversity look like across industries in the U.S. and in transportation particularly? What has the impact of COVID-19 been on workers and what are considerations for how we return to the workplace? What practices can companies implement to accelerate women’s progress and create a workplace where women feel valued?  

Despite important gains, women remain underrepresented in the workplace, even more so in leadership positions. Join us for a discussion with Kweilin Ellingrud of McKinsey & Company as she addresses these topics in our first event celebrating Women’s History Month. In this webinar, Kweilin will provide an overview of the latest 2021 Women in the Workplace Study and discuss research and findings as they relate to the transportation industry and the overall workforce.  

Participants will learn about tools to empower women in the workplace, ask questions, and engage in discussions with industry leaders about promoting women’s advancement and equality.
