Em 2023, os funcionários da Nielsen tiveram a oportunidade de participar da Cúpula de Liderança Women in Nielsen (WIN) pelo terceiro ano consecutivo. O Leadership Summit reúne colegas de toda a Nielsen em painéis interativos, grupos de discussão e webinars para aprender uns com os outros e compartilhar histórias para motivar e inspirar a próxima geração de líderes. A Cúpula é organizada pela WIN, um Grupo de Recursos Empresariais que se esforça para moldar e manter uma cultura empresarial inclusiva que valoriza os talentos e as perspectivas das mulheres.
With the theme emPOWERment, Choose Your Yes, attendees left feeling empowered to take their career into their hands and use that power to the fullest. “It’s a reminder that our career doesn’t happen to us; we are active in our pursuits and can make different choices if we aren’t aligned with where things are headed,” said Angela Povia, VP of Client Consulting and a Regional Co-Lead for WIN. Nicole Cetta, Process Lead, agreed that this was the perfect time to talk about empowerment, “Nielsen is going through a time of change, and with change often comes some feelings of uncertainty. Honing in on your value and how to convey that value to others is empowering.”
Despite changes and uncertainty, women remain ambitious and driven at every stage of their careers. McKinsey & Company’s “Women in the Workplace 2023” report found that young women are especially ambitious, with 9 in 10 wanting to be promoted to the next level and 3 in 4 aspiring to become senior leaders. In order to build a safe space where everyone can confidently learn how be empowered in their career, the WIN Summit had 11 panels that showed the different ways we can take control of our future. From The Intentional Professional: The Importance of Developing a Healthy Relationship with your Career Ambitions to Timing is Everything: When To Make Your Next Move, there was something for all attendees to learn at the summit no matter what stage of their career they are in.
In the Stretching for Growth: Assignments that Expand Your Potential session, panelists who took on stretch assignments or facilitated them for others talked about their experiences.
Gomes-Abreu, Gerente de Serviços ao Cliente, que ajudou a organizar a sessão, disse: "Muitas vezes, ficamos muito concentrados em nossas obrigações cotidianas e nos esquecemos de dar um passo atrás e olhar para nossa carreira de uma perspectiva macro. Uma tarefa extensa permite que os funcionários se sintam capacitados e os incentiva a assumir o controle de sua jornada profissional."
Com base nos valores da Nielsen de inclusão, coragem e crescimento, a Cúpula WIN conectou funcionários da Nielsen de todas as unidades de negócios e origens para criar uma experiência de aprendizado coletivo - inclusive homens! "Saí da cúpula me sentindo capacitada para defender meus interesses. Eu estava cercado de pessoas que estavam tentando avançar em suas carreiras, mas que também estavam dispostas a dar uma mão e ajudar sempre que pudessem. Havia um sentimento real de conexão com os outros que ficou comigo."
Even if change and uncertainty surround us, we can choose the path we want to be on. Our professional lives are a product of the decisions we make; knowing ourselves, being prepared, and taking intentional steps will guarantee success. “Focusing on what we can control and what we can do to prepare ourselves, our colleagues, and the industry we serve for [tough] changes is the best use of our time,” said Rich Tunkel, SVP of Sales, WIN sponsor and WIN Summit panelist.
