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 和 What’s My Next move: Career Pathing at Nielsen, participants turned the lessons they learned into action.
"尼尔森客户解决方案副总裁米莉-克朗斯坦纳（Millie Kronsteiner）说："职业发展对我们的员工非常重要。"他们了解了不同的领导路径，将学到的技能付诸行动，甚至了解了如何利用 BRGs 促进自己的职业发展"。
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.
峰会还邀请了其他尼森员工参加，包括希望支持女同事的经理和男同事。
"我希望帮助女性在职业生涯中不断成长。我对 WIN 的兴趣始于我担任经理时，我的团队大部分是女性，我想更好地了解女性在职场中面临的机遇和挑战，"尼尔森斯卡伯勒公司总经理、盟友伊姆兰-希拉尼（Imran Hirani）说。他说："我还想学习如何更好地支持我团队中的女性"。
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!”
