WITH SAM
SAPPER STEAM HEAD OF WOMEN ON
THE MOVE DURING IT'S 6TH ANNUAL
LEADERSHIP DATA ABOUT
EMPOWERING AND ENCOURAGING
WOMEN. TAKE A LOOK.
>> SO WE'RE AT THE CONCLUSION
OF THE
6TH AND.
>> WELL WOMEN ON THE MOVE
LEADERSHIP DAY TALKED TO ME
ABOUT SOME OF THE TAKE AWAYS
FROM TODAY.
>> SO TODAY WAS REALLY ABOUT
RESILIENCE AND BUILDING
COMMUNITY AND COMING
TOGETHER AGAIN. NOW AS OUR
WORKPLACES OPEN BACK UP REALLY
WANT WOMEN TO FEEL COMFORTABLE
IN COMING BACK TO
THE OFFICE AND KNOW THAT
THERE'S BENEFITS TO DOING THAT
YOU THE BENEFITS THE
RELATIONSHIPS, WE HOPE PEOPLE
BUILD AND KEEP COMING TOGETHER
MORE
AND MORE SO THAT WE HEARD FROM
SO MANY SPEAKERS TODAY HE
TALKED ABOUT THEIR OWN
STRUGGLES WITH THINGS WHETHER
THEY WERE RUNNING A LARGE
BUSINESSES LIKE MARY BARRA ARE
SMALLER BUSINESSES LIKE REBECCA
MINKOFF EVERYONE HAS REALLY
ILLUSTRATED THEIR
OWN CHALLENGES. BUT THEN THIS
DESIRE TO PUSH THROUGH THOSE
CHALLENGES YOU TO KEEP GOING TO
MAKE THOSE COME BACK FROM
THOSE MISTAKES AND WE REALLY
WANTED HER OF CLIENTS AND OUR
EMPLOYEES AND PARTNERS TO SAY I
CAN DO THAT TOO IT IS
STILL HARD WE'RE STILL IN THIS
PANDEMIC BUT WE THINK WE CAN
MOVE THROUGH TOGETHER.
>> THIS PANDEMIC I DON'T HAVE
TO TELL YOU HAS HAD SUCH A
MASSIVE
IMPACT ON WOMEN IN THE
WORKFORCE
♪
CAN YOU TALK TO ME ABOUT SOME
OF THE CHALLENGES THAT WOMEN
SPECIFICALLY FACE IN THE LAST
YEAR NOW.
>> SO OF COURSE MANY WOMEN WHO
DO THE BULK OF THE WORK AT HOME
HAD TO BE AT HOME WITH THEIR
CHILDREN, ESPECIALLY IF THEIR
MOTHERS OR JUST MANAGING
THEIR HOUSEHOLDS. AND I THINK
THAT COMBINATION OF HAVING TO
DO YOUR JOB
FULL TIME AND BE ON A ZOOM
CLASS WITH A CHILD RIGHT YOU
CAN'T DO THAT THEMSELVES AND
MANAGE WHAT'S FOR DINNER, IT'S
NO ONE'S HELPING YOU
THERE EITHER IT JUST WAS
OVERWHELMING THERE SO MANY
STRESSES THAT WOMEN HAD AND I
THINK NOW THE STRESSES MIGHT
EASE
THESE DOGS SCHOOLS ARE OPEN
AGAIN THERE'S MORE DAY CARE BUT
THINGS AREN'T PERFECT AND I
THINK WE'RE FINDING THAT PEOPLE
STILL WANT THE FLEXIBILITY AND
WE SHOULD HAVE THAT HAD TO BE
REAL WE ADJUST TO IT.
>> NORMAL WORLD NOW WHAT IS
THAT NORMAL WORLD
LOOK LIKE. SO WE'RE HOPING THAT
PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THERE ARE MORE
TOOLS NOW COMPANIES ARE
HOPEFULLY MORE FLEXIBLE AND CAN
RETAIN THAT FLEXIBILITY.
>> AND MORE
FOCUSED ON WHAT ARE THOSE
RESPONSIBILITIES THAT WOMEN DO
HAVE AT HOME AND MANAGERS ARE
ASKING ABOUT THAT MANAGERS ARE
ASKING ABOUT HOW IS YOUR
WORKLOAD HOW'S YOUR WELL-BEING.
>> WHAT CAN I DO TO LISTEN
TO YOU. WE HAD A SPEAKER HERE
TODAY ESTHER PEREL AND SHE
TALKED ABOUT
LEADERSHIP HAS.
>> NOT NECESSARILY WAS THE
FINDING A VISION BUT PROVIDING
A CONTAINER A PLACE WHERE
MANAGERS CAN JUST TALK TO THEM
EMPLOYEES AND HEAR ABOUT WHAT'S
GOING ON WITH THEM AND HEAR
ABOUT WHAT'S ON THEIR MINDS.
YOU DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO SET
FORTH WHAT YOU'RE
DOING NEXT. WE CAN BE THERE IN
THE PRESENT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT
PEOPLE ARE GOING THROUGH AND
THAT HELP.
♪
>> WHERE DO YOU STAND ON THE
GOALS FOR WOMEN ON THE MOVE.
>> SO WE HAVE SEVERAL GOALS FOR
WOMEN ON THE MOVE ONE OF OUR
MOST IMPORTANT GOALS IS ON
HELPING SMALL BUSINESSES FEMALE
FOUNDED AND RUN SMALL
BUSINESSES ONE GO
OR SO HAPPY TO HAVE MET IS 3
YEARS AGO WE SET FORTH A GOAL
FOR THE FIRM TO LEND 10 BILLION
DOLLARS IN CREDIT TO FEMALE
SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS AND THEN
OF COURSE THE PANDEMIC HIT
AND THERE A LOT OF FROM OUR
SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS BUT EVEN
THROUGH
THAT ANNEX INCLUDING ALL THE
LOANS THAT THE FIRM MADE TO THE
PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM,
THE FIRM IS ACTUALLY ALREADY
HIT 12.7 BILLION DOLLARS IN
CREDIT TO WOMEN
AND SO WE'RE JUST SO HAPPY TO
KNOW THAT WOMEN ARE GETTING
ACCESS TO THE FINANCING THAT
THEY NEED FOR
THEIR BUSINESSES AND THEN WE'RE
GOING FORWARD FROM HERE SO
WOMEN ON THE MOVE IS ALSO
COACHING SMALL BUSINESSES
REALLY UNDERSTANDING WHAT NEEDS
ARE RIGHT NOW THE
PANDEMIC HAS WOMEN ARE CHANGING
THEIR BUSINESS MODELS AND
PIVOTING AND SO OUR GOAL IS TO
REALLY HELP MORE WOMEN GET THAT
COACHING AND ACCESS EXPERTISE.
>> WHAT ARE THE FUTURE GOALS
FOR WOMEN ON
THE MOVE.
>> YEAH, SO WE WANT TO HAVE 250
WOMEN GO THROUGH ACCELERATOR
PROGRAMS WITH US WE JUST
STARTED WOMAN TECH STARS WHICH
IS
A GREAT TECHNOLOGY INCUBATOR
FOR COMPANIES AND SO WE HAVE
WOMEN 20 WOMEN IN ATLANTA GOING
THROUGH A PROGRAM WITH US NOW
SO REALLY HAVE THAT THAT WE
HAVE COACHING THAT'S ALSO BEEN
ROLLED OUT TO WOMEN ONE ON ONE
AND SO YOU CAN GET COACH
VIRTUALLY ON PROBLEMS THAT ARE
YOU
NEED TO YOUR BUSINESS AND WE'RE
REALLY FINDING THAT WOMEN WANT
TO KEEP INVESTING IN THEIR
BUSINESSES THEY
MIGHT HAVE REALLY BEEN
DECIMATED OVER THE LAST FEW
YEARS THEY MIGHT HAVE HAD TO
PAUSE THINGS HIM AND PUT THE
RESTART THINGS YOU MIGHT HAVE
LOST THEIR EMPLOYEES.
BUT I WANT TO KEEP GOING AND WE
ESPECIALLY WANT THEM TO GET
THROUGH THIS PERIOD AND OF
COURSE WE WANT MORE WOMEN TO
START BUSINESSES IN
THE FUTURE.
>> TO THAT POINT I WANT TO TALK
ABOUT MCKINSEY'S LATEST WOMEN
IN THE WORKPLACE REPORT IT
FOUND THAT REPRESENTATION IN
CORPORATE AMERICA HAS IMPROVED
FOR WOMEN WHICH
IS GREAT. BUT THE PROGRESS HAS
BEEN SLOW AND IT'S BEEN AN EVEN
SO HOW DO WE. PUSH THE
NEEDLE FORWARD.
>> IT'S CERTAINLY NOT FOR LACK
OF TRYING I THINK A LOT OF
COMPANIES NOW DOING A LOT WHEN
IT COMES TO DIVERSITY
REPRESENTATION THINKING THROUGH
THESE THINGS BUT WE HAVEN'T
SEEN A LOT OF PROGRESS AND THE
MOMENTUM OF PROGRESS OVER TIME
SO IT DOES FEEL LIKE PEOPLE
PLATEAUED OR COMPANIES
HAVE PLATEAUED I THINK WE NEED
TO INJECT NEW INTO SOME OF
AND ALSO BECAUSE HE TALKS ABOUT
THAT FIRST BROKEN WRONG WHERE
WOMEN CAN'T GET TO THAT FIRST
MANAGEMENT LEVEL AND I THINK
THERE IS A LOT THAT BREAKS DOWN
AND COMPANIES WHEN IT COMES TO
WOMEN COMING IN THE DOOR ALMOST
5050 50% AND MORE JUNIOR
LEVELS, BUT THEY'RE NOT GETTING
PROMOTED TO THOSE FIRST AND
THEN LEVELS
OF MANAGEMENT. I THINK WE NEED
TO HAVE A LOT MORE FOCUS ON THE
RELATIONSHIPS THAT WOMEN HAVE
THE FIRMS AND
MORE SPONSORSHIPS SO PEOPLE
ACTUALLY ACTIVELY SPONSORING
MORE WOMEN TO GET TO THEIR NEXT
JOBS, GIVING THEM STRETCH
OPPORTUNITIES MAKING SURE THEY
HAVE THEIR BACK WHEN IT COMES
TO TAKING POUNDING THE TABLE
FOR THEM BEHIND
CLOSED DOORS. IT'S ALWAYS THOSE
RELATIONSHIPS THAT ARE MOST
IMPORTANT AND I JUST DON'T
THINK MANY WOMEN AND
PARTICULARLY WOMEN OF COLOR GET
THAT SPONSORSHIP REALLY EARLY
IN THEIR CAREERS.
>> THAT WAS SAM'S AVERAGE TEAM
HEAD OF WOMEN ON THE MOVE OF JP
MORGAN CHASE PHAM ALSO TOLD ME
SHE WANTS WOMEN TO COME KEEP
GOING IF YOU FELT REALLY
STRESSED OR OVERWHELMED.
THERE ARE COMMUNITIES OUT THERE
TO HELP YOU ARE
