OPENING SESSION
Women@Work:
The Great Realignment
It has been two years since the pandemic upended the traditional office-setting workforce, which forced many to work at home in response to safety concerns and emergent family priorities. In that time, workers reprioritized their life and reevaluated their current jobs and roles.
In an interview with CNN’s Christine Romans, ADP Chief Economist Nela Richardson will reveal the latest research illuminating the state of women at work today, exploring women’s return to work since the start of the pandemic and how it has varied across industries.

Worker Identity Research Collaboration (WIRC): Stories from the Field
The world of work is rapidly evolving. How people work, where they work, why they work, when they work and what they believe about work are questions with diverse and always dynamic meanings.
Leveraging in-depth, ethnographically informed, field research to better understand the role that work plays in people’s lives and communities by engaging directly with individual workers, our experts will share some of what they have learned to date with the Women@Work community.

PANEL
Addressing Employee Burnout and Mental Wellness
According to a recent McKinsey workplace study*, women are even more burned out now than they were a year ago, and the gap in burnout between women and men has almost doubled. In the past year, one in three women has considered leaving the workforce or downshifting their career—a significant increase from one in four in the first few months of the pandemic.
Join us for a panel discussion where we will tackle how organizations can:
- Address systemic and societal issues affecting women’s mental health
- Discuss burnout prevention strategies in the workplace
- Examine how to adjust policies and practices to better support working women
- Explore actionable, self-focused interventions for mindfulness and self-care
