Presentation Description:

Women still hold significantly fewer jobs than their male counterparts, despite global equality movements and diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) programs taking hold in the workplace. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), the global labor force participation rate for women is just under 47%, compared with 72% for men. This gender gap in employment is even starker in the field of project management where male project managers outnumber female project managers by 3:1, according to recent research from the Project Management Institute (PMI). 

In her presentation, LuAnn Piccard of the PMI Board of Directors will share insights and take-aways on the latest trends for women in the project workforce and how organizations can encourage greater diversity and inclusion.
