Fireside Chat.
Covid-19 has had an impact on nearly every aspect of our daily lives, including the ways in which we work. At the same time, inequities still exist for women in the workplace, from wage disparities to lack of supports for working mothers, where historically, employers have overlooked and under-delivered on benefits for women workers who continue to earn an average 84% of the salary of male counterparts. At the Women for Whittier Holiday Tea, event speakers will shed light on inequities that exist not only in the workplace, but also in heath care and society at large. A fireside chat addressing these topics will be moderated by Karen Holmes Ward, WCVB's Director of Public Affairs, with panelists Christine M. Carmody, Executive Vice-President of HR & IT at Eversource Energy, Jackie Glenn, CEO of Glenn Diversity and Shirley Leung, Columnist & Associate Editor of The Boston Globe.
