MADISON, Wis.—CUES said its CUES RealTalk! will tackle “The Double Bind” at its next session on Sept. 21.
CUES said RealTalk! covers important, but “often hard to discuss” issues impacting the credit union industry and is focusing on the theme “Women in the Workforce: Because $0.82 is NOT Enough.”
“The Double Bind refers to the competing demands of work/life balance that most of those in the workforce contend with—but that is often more complicated for women,” said Dawn Abely, CUES’ SVP/chief sales and member Relations Officer.
According to CUES, attendees will hear from a panel of experts, moderated by Laurie J. Maddalena of Envision Excellence. She’ll be joined by Alyssa Guillory, VP/marketing with Unity One Credit Union; Lynn Heckler, EVP/chief talent officer with PSCU; and Deedee Myers, founder & CEO of DDJ Myers.
Talking Points
CUES said session talking points include:
- How to counteract challenges reentering the workforce after starting a family.
- Are traditional benefits becoming less valuable than nontraditional benefits such as flexible work schedules and strong maternity and paternity leave policies?
- Studies show most household duties fall to women. What does that do to add to pressure, stress and guilt, and their impact on the workplace?
- Should organizations be measuring time, or results?
- Women often miss out on informal networking opportunities because of their family responsibilities. How can they overcome these disadvantages?
- Working single mothers face many challenges, including a lack of support. What can be done for this group?
- How do we support women—and all employees—to prioritize physical and mental health?
Actionable Ideas
“Like our previous sessions, attendees will walk away with actionable ideas and practical solutions that can put to use immediately,” said Abely.
CUES said that because RealTalk! covers topics that are so important, the event is being offered at no charge, and all industry professionals are encouraged to attend. The first three sessions, covering The Great Resignation, The Gender Pay Gap and The Confidence Gap are available for playback here.
