While most people’s lives have been turned upside down by the pandemic, studies show that, in many ways, women have been disproportionately affected:
- Women are more likely to have been impacted economically by the pandemic and more likely to work in sectors suffering job losses
- One in four women have said they are thinking about reducing or leaving paid work due to company inflexibility, caring responsibilities and stress
- Women were the majority of those on temporary contracts (53%) and on zero-hours contracts (55%)
- Women in mid-career – often sandwiched between child and elder care – are likely to be particularly disadvantaged
Women are crucial to our recovery from the pandemic
Highlighting the important role employers can play to redress this imbalance through proactive D&I and wellbeing programmes, Peppy will be running a free to attend, interactive Make A Difference webinar: “Bridging the gap: championing financial, mental and physical wellbeing for women in the workplace.”
Join us from 10.00am to 11.00am on Wednesday 2nd March, the week before International Women’s Day, and gain actionable advice and concrete insights into simple steps employers can take to make a difference including:
- The key women’s financial challenges that HR/line managers should be aware of
- How financial, mental and physical wellbeing are linked
- Ways in which women can be supported at different life stages across their career
- Case study: illustrating the concrete difference support of women is making – both for colleagues and for the business
