Announcing the launch of WISe Wellness Guild's "Unfiltered Series", powered by Fifth Third Private Bank. This series will share stories of support, engagement and learning to pivot amidst times of extreme pressure and change.
The first Unfiltered event is "The 2020 Mass Exodus: Women in Business." These conversations are more important than ever for women in business. There’s an alarming statistic that women ages 35-54 are exiting the workforce at a rapid pace due to personal and professional burnout associated with COVID-19. In fact, more than 850,000 women exited the workforce last month alone. More women in the workplace equates to a direct positive impact on long-term economic growth. The numbers don’t lie. This is our unfiltered opportunity to engage women and business owners in these cultural conversations to ensure we don’t let this crisis (or female talent) go to waste.
This event will be hosted by. Stevi Gable Carr, Founder of WISe Wellness Guild.
Moderated by Breanne Bovara, Wealth Management Advisor and Alexis Cartier, HR Manager at Fifth Third Bank.
