Nielsen’s Women in Nielsen Business Resource Group (WIN BRG) takes our values very seriously: Inclusion-Courage-Growth. For the second year, the WIN Leadership Summit brought those values to life—with leadership development and career growth programs for employees. Given that one in two women say they aren’t very confident at work right now, the WIN Summit provided women employees the tools they need to take their careers into their own hands and feel confident and supported in advocating for themselves in the workplace.
This year’s Summit, Shine Bright – Leadership in Action, featured leaders from inside and outside of Nielsen. On the first day, The summit featured panel conversations with Nielsen leaders and other speakers who shared stories of inspiration, perseverance and self-awareness. On day 2, through workshops like Remotivation: The Remote Worker’s Ultimate Guide to Life-Changing Fulfillment 그리고 What’s My Next move: Career Pathing at Nielsen, participants turned the lessons they learned into action.
"경력 성장은 우리 직원들에게 매우 중요합니다."라고 닐슨의 클라이언트 솔루션 담당 부사장인 밀리 크론슈타이너는 말합니다. "그들은 다양한 리더십 경로에 대해 배우고, 배운 기술을 실행에 옮기고, 심지어 자신의 경력 성장을 위해 BRG를 사용하는 방법까지 배웠습니다."
The summit also brought in allies. Allyship is needed at every corner, as the expectations of leaders in the workplace have expanded. According to the 2022 Women in the Workplace report, conducted by McKinsey and LeanIn, businesses are experiencing “The Great Breakup:” Women want more from their work, and are changing jobs to get it. By providing allyship, support and taking steps to eliminate the barriers to career advancement, the WIN Summit and other women’s leadership programs can stem talent attrition.
이 서밋에는 여성 동료를 지원하고자 하는 관리자와 남성 동료를 포함한 다른 Niesen 직원들도 참여했습니다.
"저는 여성의 커리어 성장을 돕고 싶습니다. 관리자로서 대부분 여성으로 구성된 팀을 관리하면서 여성이 직장에서 직면하는 기회와 도전을 더 잘 이해하고 싶었습니다."라고 Nielsen Scarborough의 제너럴 매니저이자 WIN의 후원자인 Imran Hirani는 말합니다. "또한 팀원들을 더 잘 지원할 수 있는 방법을 배우고 싶었습니다."
The panelists at the summit also offered support and advice for how women can manage through change and mustering enough confidence to navigate difficult career choices. “I was extremely interested in learning about how to increase our current and future value professionally,” said Caity Lamb, VP of Client Services, and first-time attendee. “Extremely impressed by the women speakers, who are leaders in their professional jobs, but also leading through service and dedicating time, which can be so hard to do!”
While the summit is only once a year, the WIN BRG reinforces the lessons learned at the summit through programs all year. “[We] absolutely have seen an increase in participation in the WIN BRG. More members have joined since the summit and a few people have already raised their hands to plan next year’s summit,” said Kronsteiner. “We are already looking forward to next year’s WIN Summit!”
