Women’s Issues in the Workplace

"Women's Issues in the Workplace" is an event designed to address important issues faced by women as they prepare for and are involved in the workplace. Delivered as a collaborative effort between the UH Hilo Mentorship Program, the UH Hilo Women's Center and the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM) the event features a panel of human resource professionals and leaders from HPM, Big Island Toyota, YWCA, and Hawai`i Radiologic Associates. The panel discussion and interactive session will address questions such as:

• How can women expect to be treated differently from men in the recruiting process and in the workplace?
• What steps can women be taking now to help overcome these challenges?
• What is the ‘glass ceiling’? Does it exist? What can young women do to break through it?

Held on Thursday, November 19, 2015 in UCB 127, from 5:30 - 7:00 p.m., the event is open to the general public as well as members of the UH Hilo community.   Refreshments will be provided, but participants must register to participate by November 12.
