WiT21: New Ways of Working – The Good, The Bad and The Downright Experimental
How the changes over the last 18 months have worked for women
Following on from the success of last year’s conference, we’re delighted to announce WiT21 where we will explore how the changes over the last 18 months have worked for women in the workplace. This virtual event will include a panel discussion from working parents in senior positions in the field of digital education, and university led sessions exploring the following areas:
- Opportunities and challenges of a post-pandemic world
- What hybrid working has meant for individuals
- Managing the return from maternity leave and parenthood during the pandemic
- How authentic Leadership can promote wellbeing and a work life balance
- How increased choice for women can make a career in tech more appealing
- Where the pandemic has left the recruitment, retention and promotion of women
Attendees will have an opportunity to reflect on and share their own experiences and achievements. Speakers will offer advice from personal experiences and provide a space to share and seek mutual support.
This event is open for booking to ucisa members of all genders.
