Women at Work: Exploring the Hidden Drivers of Turnover and Stability
In this webinar, we present new evidence on women at work, uncovering where participation risks exist and why they often go undetected. Drawing on our benefits benchmarking, employee experience data, and applied research, this session goes beyond headline metrics to explore what’s really driving long-term workforce outcomes.
Canadian workplaces are at a defining moment. Leaders face mounting challenges: an economy demanding more with less, burnout that is rarely just individual and often structural, leadership gaps in distributed teams, rising mental health concerns, and technology that’s transforming work faster than organizations can adapt.
