The Student Leadership and Ethics Board, CWiB (Columbia Women in Business), and CWiB Allies invite you to an #EthicsMatters conversation to discuss gender equity in the workplace. This discussion will focus on current issues and challenges facing men, women, and non-binary people at work; and will dive into a nuanced discussion on the recent drop off of women in the workforce due to the COVID-19 crisis. In this group setting, it is our goal to collaborate across genders to discuss tactful ways in which we can help shape the future workplace where all, especially women and non-binary people, can feel supported and included by business leaders and colleagues alike.

Pre-Reading for Discussion:

• Why Did Hundreds of Thousands of Women Drop Out of the Work Force?
• Women in the Workplace (McKinsey Report)
• The Business Case for Diversity in the Workplace Is Now Overwhelming
