This is an online event.ISACA Greater Cincinnati Chapter - SheLeadsTech - Gender Equality, Diversity and COVID-19: Current Trends & Future Directions
Mark your calendars for Wednesday, October 28 at 4 PM for the next Greater Cincinnati ISACA Chapter SheLeadsTech event. Jo Stewart-Rattray will dig into the results of ISACA’s Workforce 2020 survey, which highlighted that there are differing global perceptions in relation to diversity and inclusion in the tech workforce. We will explore the benefits of diversity and inclusion in the workforce, the effect they have on the organizational bottom line, and how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way in which women work and manage the balance between ‘home’ and ‘work’.
