⚠️ Potentially mind-blowing
We're very happy to announce this event with Helen Tubb, a global expert on Sponsorship & DEI, and our Clusity ambassador Nersey Rastan, who's a mentor and sponsor for women in tech. This session will show how sponsoring women in the workplace is a key business driver. It will introduce how leaders, managers and decision-makers can integrate sponsorship into talent, leadership and DEI strategies and 'pay it forward' in their everyday behaviors and actions.
FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED and limited spots - priority access for Clusity members!
Sponsorship: going beyond mentoring to retain and advance women in tech
Unlocking tech's full potential: the power of sponsoring diverse talent.
Unlike mentorship, coaching and other support, sponsorship engages leaders and managers in actively advocating, creating career-critical opportunities and addressing implicit barriers for 'different' aspiring professionals. Aside from boosting talent retention and advancement rates, companies that expand sponsorship access are 70% more likely to capture a new market and 45% to improve their market share.
The tech sector thrives on innovation and excellence, yet its full potential remains untapped without greater people diversity. Women continue to face barriers to entry and advancement, leaving critical perspectives and capabilties on the sidelines. They represent only 28% of the STEM workforce (and 19% in tech), dropping to 10% among STEM leadership (and 3% in tech leadership), and the figures are even starker for women of color and other marginalized groups.
Operating in pressured, unpredictable markets, tech business leaders and stakeholders cannot afford to live with under-representation as the status quo. New, proactive strategies are needed to retain and elevate more diverse women in companies to drive business success. One strategy stands out as a game-changer, backed by distinction-awarded INSEAD research: sponsorship.
Join us for an evening event dedicated to revealing the power of sponsorship. Learn from INSEAD research on the human dynamics of women's sponsorship, including real cases from tech leaders (men and women) across the globe. Take-away concrete actions to raise awareness and shape sponsorship behaviors as part of leadership development, succession planning and diversity, equity and inclusion
