You are an HR professional and you're curious about NPTs in your organization

Interested in the event but not sure if it's for you?
Check out our FAQs below or drop us an email with your questions
I work for myself. Is this event for me?
Yes! This event explores the social conditioning and systems that underpin the patriarchal models making it difficult for women to say NO. Dr. Babcock will share the behavioral research conducted and it's impact on women's health and finances. Even if your primary employment is not in Corporate workplaces, you will identify with the content to be discussed because, consistently, research shows women across all professions, industries and organizations do more non-promotable or "invisible" work than men.
Why should HR professionals, specifically, attend?
HR and DEI professionals will appreciate the evaluation and nuanced discussion of the systems and dynamics that place hidden demands in the workplace. As professionals guiding and shaping the experience and values of a company's greatest assets - it's people - the information presented will provide meaningful and specific actionable metrics to assess how your specific organization's systems might be underpinning cultural biases that hurt women.
Is this event only for women?
No.
The event is focused on addressing concerns about how women are impacted by social conditioning and patriarchal systems, but the content is important to all genders and identities. Although not specifically marketed to men, some men may choose to join us. If you are male and have influence, positions of leadership and/or work with female peers, leaders or team members, you may be interested to understand how a woman's full workload may not be visible or equitably allocated.
Will this event be offered again?
Unfortunately, no.
This is a special signature event featuring Dr. Linda Babcock. It is an in person event offered only on October 26th in Brecksville, Ohio.
