Code of Balance Wellness Toolkit: Self-Advocacy
Women face a lot of challenges in the workplace. A well-known problem is burnout, defined by chronic stress and exhaustion, which affects individual well-being and undermines productivity and organizational success. Moreover, gender disparities persist in compensation structures, with women frequently receiving lower pay for comparable or even greater work — not only are women overworked, but they are also underpaid. Did you know that nearly half of employed women say their feeling of burnout has increased since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic? Almost a third say their job responsibilities have increased (29%), though only 14% say their compensation has increased. The issue of burnout and equitable pay has garnered increasing attention. Recognizing the critical need for self-advocacy, you can empower yourself to address these issues head-on.
Conversations #100: Inspiring Inclusion and Celebrating International Women’s Day with Julie Elberfeld and Joey Rosenberg
I really believe firmly in all the programming that we do to support women. I also would love to see a future where we don’t have to be having this conversation, where women of all backgrounds, all underrepresented people in tech, feel like they belong and can thrive like this is a place they’re meant to be. Technology is shaping everything about our experience. It’s shaping everything about the economy. Companies depend extensively on technology to thrive in our digital economy.
