Helping Women Employees Return to the Office with Caroline Dettman, Have Her Back

June 24, 2022 The HR Gazette Season 1 Episode 451

In HRchat episode 451, we consider what organizations need to know to cultivate a workplace that not only retains women employees but empowers their success.

The pandemic now feels endemic and companies want employees back in the office. Today's guest says that, when it comes to a preference in returning to the office, opinions seem to be directly tied to age.

Bill Banham is joined by Caroline Dettman, Founding Partner at Have Her Back, a DEI consultancy listed among Fast Company’s World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies for 2022.

Listen as Caroline shares her take on the findings plus she offers ways companies can improve their practices to better support different generations of women in the workplace.
