Nielsen recently launched its first-ever global, virtual leadership summit, WIN Rising Leaders. Led by the Women in Nielsen (WIN) Business Resource Group, the event featured keynote presentations, panels, micro-mentoring and skill development workshops for over 1,000 Nielsen associates from 37 countries.
今年会议的主题是 "女性赋权，谁来赋权"，尼尔森内部和外部的 70 多位演讲者和导师都体现了这一主题。
“These past couple of years have been challenging for everyone, and especially women and minorities. We’ve all been working in challenging environments that are constantly changing. As a result, we haven’t been able to get together, celebrate and share each other’s stories as often as we’d like,” said Sandra Sims-Williams, Chief Diversity Officer at Nielsen and executive sponsor of the Women in Nielsen Business Resource Group. “This summit offered us an opportunity to inspire each other, foster a sense of community, create new connections and most importantly – provide accessible leadership development opportunities to people at all levels of the organization.”
The great migration of 2020 to remote work changed everything from how employees prioritized their days, to how they learned and even their career paths. Women have been especially affected by the pandemic, setting back progress made toward gender parity in the workforce. According to recent calculations from the National Women’s Law Center, Women will need nearly nine straight years of job gains at last month’s level to recover the nearly 3 million net jobs they have lost since February 2020.
"尼尔森首席人事官劳里-洛维特（Laurie Lovett）表示："如果我们想要产生影响并帮助缩小性别差距，我们可以从我们自己的社区开始。"本次峰会是我们的多元化、平等与包容以及人才与发展团队为帮助缩小这一差距而提供的众多资源和职业发展机会之一。
Today, 43% of Nielsen’s leaders are women, putting the company on track to reach its goal of 46% of women in leadership by 2023. Along with its renewed commitment to fight discrimination and its new values: Inclusion-Courage-Growth, Nielsen continues to take steps towards creating a more inclusive and equitable workplace for women. Recent investments includes the re-launch of its Diverse Leadership Network, an MBA-like development program for mid-career talent, LANDIT, a personsonalized career pathing technology designed to increase the success and engagement of women and diverse groups, and HIM For HER, an organization focused on accelerating boardroom diversity.
“When sketching out WIN Rising Leaders, we knew we wanted to create something that would address the needs of associates at all levels and also put Nielsen on the map as an academy company for women,” said Tuesday Hagiwara, WIN North America Co-Lead and Director of Communications at Nielsen. “The event required the support of executives across Nielsen, across the BRG community, and from so many of our allies and partners. The response to our request for support was an overwhelming, resounding ‘YES’.”
