The unprecedented events of 2020 have significantly impacted Utah’s workforce. Holland & Hart is pleased to sponsor this Utah Business webinar focused on a forward-looking discussion about policies and programs that businesses of all sizes can implement to improve the workplace and opportunities for working parents and women.
The pandemic intensified challenges many employees with children already faced, including burnout and navigating work-life-balance. Companies are realizing that flexible work does indeed work, but many other policies and elements of workplace culture don’t create a sustainable work environment, especially for women, who typically carry the greater weight of parenting. As Utah businesses begin returning to “normal” operations, policies that encourage working parents, and particularly women, to stay engaged in the workforce will be a competitive advantage for employers looking to attract and retain top talent.
The panel will explore Dr. Susan Madsen’s latest Utah-based research on what “Best in Class” businesses are doing to meet employees’ needs. Hear about flexible and family-friendly policies in place at Utah businesses O.C Tanner, Larry H. Miller Group of Companies, and Recursion Pharmaceuticals, and gain an employment law perspective from Holland & Hart.
