Description

Mid-career women exit financial services at higher rates than men. This session diagnoses the "leaky pipeline" (flexibility stigma, lack of sponsorship) and offers retention strategies from companies with high female leadership.

Key Takeaways:

  • Top reasons women quit (survey data + exit interview insights)
  • Policy fixes (e.g., phase-back post-mat leave, part-time leadership)
  • Sponsorship programs that actually work.


Impact: Reduce attrition costs and strengthen succession plans for female employees
