Properly fitting PPE is critical for ensuring comfort, effectiveness, and safety on the job, but for women in the workforce, sourcing PPE that is designed with their dimensions in mind isn't always easy. That's why women's PPE advocacy organization The Safety Rack and the Alliance of Women's Safety Apparel Manufacturers (AWSAM) partnered with other women's groups to launch the #MyBodyMyPPE campaign last year to raise awareness about the issue. The co-founders of #MyBodyMyPPE, Amy Roosa, the founder of The Safety Rack, and Emily Soloby, founder and CEO of Juno Jones Safety Boots, join the SafetyPod to discuss why women-specific PPE is essential, how to ensure women workers' PPE needs are addressed, and what's coming up for the campaign this year.

In this episode of the Work in Progress podcast, Wendy Chun-Hoon, director of the Women's Bureau at the U.S. Department of Labor, joins me to discuss the progress the century-old bureau has made when it comes to creating equality, fairness, and safety for women in the workforce. While more women than ever before are working, many still face lower wages than their male counterparts, sexual harassment, and lack of support around childcare and family care. Chun-Hoon describes herself as a longtime advocate for women in the workforce. She says she feels the Bureau has made many strides, but there is still much work to be done. There are more than 79 million women in the workforce, but in some fields they're still underrepresented in in-demand fields that pay well and overrepresented in jobs that pay less. Here's one example: the demand for both home health care workers and software developments are both growing. Women make up just 18.6% of all software developer jobs which have a median annual salary of $132,270. In contrast, nearly 88% of home health care workers are women. Those jobs have a median annual salary of $33,530. Chun-Hoon shares what the current administration and past administrations to address that imbalance. We also discuss the critical issue of childcare for working women and government-wide efforts to ensure women have the support they need for caring for their children so they can remain a part of the workforce or join the workforce. Also in the podcast, we talk about the creation of the Gender Policy Council which not only addresses the wage and childcare issues, but also addresses gender-based violence for women in the workforce. In summing up her time in office, which ends January 20, Chun-Hoon tells me, "I've seen breakthroughs that I wasn't expecting. I've seen some disappointments.  I know that the Women's Bureau is also going to keep up that fight to really serve its enduring mission and the legacy that the Women's Bureau is, which is to represent the needs of working women."

On this episode of "Flourish or Fold," I am thrilled to welcome writer, social entrepreneur, consultant, beacon of leadership and testament to the power of women in the workforce, Colleen Bordeaux. As a management consultant at Deloitte and the founder of Growth Inc, a media and leadership development company dedicated to women, Colleen embodies the multifaceted nature of today's female leaders. Our conversation delved into the heart of women's experiences in the corporate world, examining the challenges we face and the triumphs we can achieve. We explored the startling reality that women often reach their peak confidence at the tender age of nine and that within two years of starting their careers, many lose their ambition to ascend to leadership roles. We also touch on female friendships, workplace dynamics, and redefining success. The episode emphasizes the need for self-love, resilience, and defining one's own path to leadership and fulfillment.The Societal Conditioning Conundrum: Why does this happen? Colleen and I discussed the pervasive impact of societal conditioning on women's confidence. We're taught to seek external validation, to measure our worth by others' yardsticks. This quest for approval can erode our self-worth and diminish our innate power. The "power dead even rule" is one such cultural norm that can stifle a woman's assertiveness. It's the unspoken expectation that we must not outshine our peers, that we should maintain an equilibrium that often comes at the cost of our own growth.The Path to Self-Directed Leadership: Colleen's journey is a powerful narrative of navigating dual career paths, balancing her creative passions with the rigors of a corporate environment. She shared the pressures of conforming to a narrow definition of success and the importance of reconciling one's values with one's professional life. The key, as Colleen emphasized, is to clarify your values and develop a robust sense of self-trust. It's about identifying whose opinions truly matter and align with your values, empowering you to carve out a career path that resonates with your authentic self.The Significance of Supportive Relationships: We also touched on the importance of surrounding oneself with supportive individuals who foster personal growth. Colleen highlighted the dynamic nature of relationships, acknowledging the critical role her partner played in her journey while also recognizing the need to set boundaries with others, like parents, whose values may not align with her own. She urged listeners to be discerning about the people they allow to influence their thinking and to part ways with those who don't contribute positively to their journey, doing so with love and self-respect.Understanding the Dynamics of Female Friendships: Our conversation took a personal turn as I shared my experiences of feeling excluded from social circles. Colleen provided valuable insights into the dynamics of female relationships, reminding us that the behavior of others often reflects their insecurities and struggles with self-love. Building self-love and resilience is crucial, as the actions of others are not a measure of our worth.Redefining Likability and Success in the Workplace: In the workplace, women often grapple with the need for likability versus respect. Colleen offered practical advice on shifting the focus from being liked to being respected, building influential relationships, and concentrating on the impact and value we bring to our professional roles. She also encouraged listeners to define success on their own terms, to become "expanders" who embrace growth and step into their potential.Join the Growth Inc Community: As we wrapped up the episode, I couldn't help but express my admiration for Colleen's work. I invite you all to connect with Growth Inc through their Instagram platform, where you can engage with a community that shares your values and find messages that resonate with your journey.Thank you to Colleen for sharing her personal journey and the importance of self-trust, values, and surrounding oneself with supportive individuals. Our conversation underscored the magnitude of self-trust, resilience, and influential relationships for women in the workforce. It's a call to action for all of us to embrace our worth and agency, to lead from a place of our own values and intuition.Connect with Colleen Bordeaux: Colleen invites you to connect with her through her website and on social media. To learn more about her work visit:https://www.colleenbordeaux.com/https://www.instagram.com/colleenbordeauxhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/colleen-bordeaux/https://www.growth-inc.org/ Here are some highlights of the episode to look forward to:Introduction of Colleen Bordeaux (00:01:21): Introduction of Colleen Bordeaux, her professional background, and the founding of Growth Inc, a woman's media and leadership development company.Colleen's Career Trajectories (00:03:55): Colleen's experience balancing a corporate career with her own company, Growth Inc, and the challenges she faced in integrating her creative pursuits with her corporate path.Impact of Sabbatical and Self-Reflection (00:08:18): The transformative impact of a sabbatical on Colleen's understanding of her personal experiences and the broader challenges faced by women in the workforce.Societal Conditioning and Confidence in Women (00:16:56): Exploration of societal conditioning, the confidence deficit in women, and the impact of external validation on women's self-worth and career trajectories.Self-Trust and Values (00:26:30): The importance of clarifying personal values, building self-trust, and leading from a place of individual values and intuition.Building a Supportive Circle (00:27:33): Colleen discusses the importance of having supportive individuals and the need to evaluate the influence of different people in one's life.Weeding Out Negative Influences (00:28:28): Colleen emphasizes the significance of paying attention to how individuals make you feel after interactions and making choices to release negative influences with love.Navigating Friendships and Acquaintances (00:29:38): The speakers share personal experiences and insights on managing friendships and acquaintances, including the challenges and decisions involved.Understanding Female Relationships (00:32:43): Dr. Taryn Marie reflects on her experiences with female relationships, seeking to understand the dynamics and reasons behind changes in friendships.Impact of Self-Love on Relationships (00:35:04): Colleen discusses the importance of self-love and its impact on relationships, emphasizing the need to release negative influences with love.Navigating Likability in the Workplace (00:37:24): The conversation delves into the challenges of likability and relationships in the workplace, exploring the impact on career advancement and opportunities.Reframing the Need for Likability (00:42:47): Colleen shares strategies for reframing the need for likability as the need for respect and discusses the importance of building influential relationships in a professional setting.Defining Success and Expanding Potential (00:50:41): Colleen emphasizes the importance of defining success based on personal values and being an expander of one's own potential, encouraging forward growth.Connecting with Growth Inc Community (00:52:12): Colleen invites listeners to connect with the Growth Inc community on Instagram and engage with the platform's content and supportive community.Peak Confidence in Women (00:52:51): Discussion on the unique approach of Colleen in addressing gender equality and inequity with humor and conviction.Selective Feedback (00:54:00): Dr. Taryn shares her approach to filtering feedback based on the relationship and credibility of the source.

In this episode of the Work in Progress podcast, Gayle Goldin, deputy director for the Women's Bureau at the U.S. Department of Labor, joins me to talk about some of the longstanding barriers to good-paying jobs facing some women in the workforce today, and what is being done to fix the problems. Women are a critical part of the U.S. labor force and contribute significantly to their families' economic security and the U.S. economy, filling half of all jobs in the country. But women continue to experience longstanding disparities in the labor force – overrepresentation in certain lower-paying jobs, underrepresentation in other higher-paying ones. When the pandemic hit, women, particularly women of color, were overrepresented in the sectors of the economy suffering the largest job losses – retail, hospitality, and education. Also, many women found it too hard to continue to work with the pandemic's additional impact of closed schools, lack of childcare, and fear of illness. According to Goldin, "The women's labor force jobs often tie to care and service jobs and are undervalued. You're a hotel worker. You're a restaurant worker. You are in the care economies, providing child care or elder care. We also see that the jobs are at the lowest end of the pay scale, around minimum wage. They're not paid as much as higher-paid, predominantly male-dominated jobs. That's where we see that real disparity." While the number of women in the workforce has returned to pre-pandemic levels, that doesn't mean the playing field is level, according to Goldin. "We lost ground because of COVID. We still feel the reverberations of that a little bit. There certainly still is a gender wage gap," she tells me in the podcast. "One of the things that we look at when we talk about the gender wage gap is what kind of jobs women are in – economists call this 'occupational segregation.'" She uses the example of skilled trade jobs. "Women only make up 4% of the skilled trades. Yet, particularly in those unionized jobs, those are pretty high-paying jobs, with good job quality. We want to make sure we're finding pathways for women to both improve the quality of the jobs that they have, and new paths for women to enter into careers that are traditionally higher paying." What does this mean in dollars and cents? Here are the numbers from the Women's Bureau for 2020, the latest year with full data comparing the media wages of women who work full-time, year-round to the wages of men who worked full-time, year-round:  "All women were paid, on average, 83% of what men were paid. Or put another way, women were paid 83 cents to every dollar paid to men.   Many women of color were paid even less. For example, Black women were paid 64%, and Hispanic women (of any race) were paid 57% of what white non-Hispanic men were paid."  Goldin and I discuss what the federal government is doing to encourage and support creation of those new paths to higher-paying careers and to address the need to provide supportive services to women for child care and elder care and for paid leave. She says these are important issues for women, their families, and the U.S. economy. "The good news is women are back in the workforce, back up to the pre-pandemic levels. We have seen some growth in the amount of women with (young) children being able to enter the workforce, and that's great too. And we need to keep going with the policy change that we need to see, so that we get the strongest economic growth that we can get."

This week our sisters talk about the challenges of joining the professional fields. 

Cork Chamber has published its latest Economic Trends, proudly supported by PTSB. Cork Chamber members shared their experiences through the most recent business quarter, Q1 2024, and their outlook for Q2 2024. This quarter, Cork Chamber members also expressed their views on the provision of childcare services in Cork, and the impact childcare provision has on their employees. The Q1 2024 survey found: 77% expressed confidence in the Irish economy 63% of respondents either agree or strongly agree that childcare disproportionately affects women in the workforce 72% stated that policymakers need to take further measures to address the challenges associated with childcare provision Skills availability remains the top threat to business growth Almost one-quarter of respondents (23%) cited that the availability and affordability of childcare provision are impacting staff, with another 23% of respondents acknowledging they are unaware if it is an issue. When asked about the workplace factors that childcare provision is impacting on, the top cited were an increase in remote working requests and an increase in requests to move to part-time work. Notably, 63% believe that women in the workforce are disproportionately affected by childcare provision. The survey findings underscore the importance of government and policymakers continuing to explore the requirements of childcare provision. A more enhanced, accessible and affordable childcare sector is important to supporting economic growth, and to ensuring that employees are provided with robust choice when considering their participation in the workplace. Ronan Murray, Cork Chamber President, commented, "The business community has shown great resilience over the past number of years, responding to unforeseen events and adapting to changing work patterns. The economy is at near full employment and the findings from our recent survey further validate the need for continued flexibility in a modern and future-proofed workplace, with more reporting an increase in requests for remote working and a move to part-time work due to childcare provision. Ensuring employees have a choice in their work patterns will be essential to bridging some of the skills shortages businesses are experiencing today." Auriol Kelly, Business Banking Manager at PTSB, commented on the findings, "The Q1 survey reveals a decline from 38% to 27% of respondents reporting an increase in net profits. However, it is encouraging to see that 42% of businesses anticipate a growth in net profits for Q2. These findings suggest a cautious optimism among businesses and highlight the need for proactive financial strategies to navigate the evolving economic landscape and PTSB is ready to support the business community in achieving their strategic goals." In closing, Mr. Murray said, "Confidence in the economy remains high at 77%. It is positive to see 93% of respondents exhibiting confidence in their own business from a financial perspective. In 2024, retaining a focus on enhancing skills availability, mitigating energy costs, and addressing housing affordability holds potential for fostering further business growth."

Peggy talks all about women in the workforce, giving ideas for how to take action in businesses.

In this episode of Crina and Kirsten Get to Work, get ready to dive deep into the world of artificial intelligence! We're here to get you psyched about the endless possibilities AI brings. But hold on, before we can fully embrace AI, there are a few things standing in our way. Maybe it's our lack of awareness or understanding that's holding us back. Or perhaps it's concerns about privacy and security. And let's not forget those resistant-to-change folks out there. But hey, just like any other skill, we can overcome these obstacles with a little practice and training. Here's some mind-blowing news for you: a recent Goldman Sachs report reveals that generative AI could impact a whopping 300 million jobs every year across various industries. We're talking healthcare, education, social work, finance, law - you name it! That's HUGE. But guess what? AI isn't just a game-changer for everyone; it's a game-changer for women too. From inclusive hiring practices to learning platforms for skill development, remote work support, and empowering women entrepreneurs - AI has their back. Now, we can't ignore the potential downsides either. If AI is trained on biased data or designed without considering equality, it could perpetuate gender bias. That means discrimination and inequality might become part of AI's programming. And who knows, AI might even snatch jobs traditionally held by women. All that being said, AI can also be a whole lot of fun! So why not give it a shot? Sign up for ChatGPT, Bard, Copilot, or Bing and let your imagination run wild. Write a letter, plan an office party, or even whip up a killer job description with the help of AI. The possibilities are endless!

Although Jennifer Justice was surrounded by women who chose a different life path, Jennifer always knew from a young age that she wanted to be a businesswoman. From being a first generation college student, to an Entrepreneur and former entertainment executive at Roc Nation, as well as being named to Billboard Women in Power list three times, she has truly embodied what it is to be a ‘lady boss.' Jennifer is known for her expertise in building artists' careers and business portfolios by marrying art and commerce as well as championing gender equality and diversity in the workplace and beyond. Jennifer is passionate about advocating for women in the workplace and serves on several boards including Chair of the WIE Network Advisory Board and is a founding advisory board member of USC's Annenberg Inclusion Initiative. Jennifer discusses how she wanted to create a platform for businesswomen to connect with one another and get valuable advice from someone who shares their experiences. She emphasizes that experiences in the workplace are vastly different when it comes to gender. Jennifer created her podcast “Lady Business” as a way to inspire other women to step into their careers as well as stand up for themselves in an industry that is male dominated. She also created “The Justice Dept,” a female focused advisory, consulting and law firm advocating for female founders, talent, execs and brands. Jennifer reminds us that with perseverance and community, we can make a difference for women in the workplace as well as in our own careers. Jennifer poses the question: what's taking so long? Some powerful takeaways from today's episode: Although Jennifer was surrounded by women who chose to stay home and care for their families, she knew she wanted to be in the workforce from a young age The greatest lessons learned come from failing The industry continues to pay women less than men and at the current rate it will take 200 years for women and men to be paid equally People often get trapped when focusing on the benefits of working for a large company when making the leap to become their own boss What's worse, regret? Or failing and learning from it? Men and women do not have the same experiences which is why Jennifer wanted to create a platform for women to get insight from other successful women in the workforce “You will fail, I fail every day” Links: Jennifer Justice's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-justice-354a0b99/ Jennifer Justice's Website: https://www.thejusticedept.com/jennifer-justice THE RE:INVENTION EXCHANGE - for more Inspired Content, Blogs, Podcasts, Virtual Chats,or to buy a copy of my book RE:INVENT YOUR LIFE!
