Event Details
Join us at LMHQ for our final Women’s Breakfast of the year! We’ll be hosting Anna Auerbach, Cofounder and Co-CEO of Werk, a little startup you might have heard of that’s championing strategic workplace flexibility as the future of work. Anna will be in conversation with Kimberly Seals Allers, award-winning journalist and author, to discuss the amazing ways the team at Werk has built their business in order to help make flexibility a universally understood and accepted concept in the workplace. Having recently launched FlexCert™, a 60-minute eLearning certification in strategic workplace flexibility, and a job board with job listings from top companies that have pre-negotiated flexibility built right in, Werk is fixing the leadership pipeline. By giving talented women jobs that are compatible with their lives, they’re starting to make work werk for women. Doors open at 8:30 AM for bagels and coffee and an opportunity for networking, and our panel kicks off at 9:00 AM sharp. We can’t wait to see you!
