Can Women Have it All? Workplace practices that Encourage Women's Participation
We may have made many strides in the work place but only recently have experts made the term "the second shift" accepted in everyday language. What is the second shift? It is the labor of domestic duties women do after their 9 to 5 jobs ensuring they remain in a cycle of work that goes beyond her paid 8 hours. In "Can Women Have it All?" an all women team from the Center of Excellence for Responsible Business will facilitate a baithak on good workplace policies that encourage women's participation, whether they are mothers or single.
