VIEW EVENT DETAILSLuncheon Presentation by Ripa Rashid, Executive Vice President, Center for Work-Life Policy
Multinational corporations are looking to the booming markets of China and India to power them out of the recession. And women in the workplace are poised to be one of the key drivers of the growth in these economies. Educated women are pouring into the professional workforce in China and India. They have a solid foothold in the top levels of the talent pool; they are enormously ambitious and passionate about their work; and they are playing an ever-larger role in the economic progress of their countries. In the private sector in China and India, what have been some of the best practices to attract female talent? What are some of the cutting-edge initiatives that have helped leverage this resource pool? What are the new strategies that are being used to cultivate, engage and retain female talent in the workplace?
