​Join Subha Barry, President of Seramount; Cid Wilson, President of HACR And Cheryl Rosario head of D&I and CSR at Munich Re for a conversation on the evolving workplace and what leading companies are doing to advance women’s leadership and opportunity in 2026. Drawing on Seramount’s latest research and insights from top employers, we will explore the trends shaping talent, culture, and leadership in the years ahead and how companies are translating these insights into real organizational change. Join us for a discussion on what forward-thinking organizations must do now to build stronger, more inclusive workplaces where women leaders can thrive. As organizations navigate rapid technological change, demographic shifts, and evolving expectations around leadership and workplace culture, the question facing business leaders is clear: what does the workforce of 2026 look like—and how must companies adapt to remain competitive? ​Recent workforce trends suggest the stakes are higher than many leaders realize. In the first half of 2025 alone, nearly half a million women left the U.S. workforce—the steepest decline in more than forty years—quietly weakening leadership pipelines across industries. What often appears as a slow pipeline challenge is, in reality, a growing retention and succession risk. Today’s debates about return-to-office policies, flexibility, and caregiving aren’t just workplace preferences—they are shaping who stays, who advances, and ultimately who becomes tomorrow’s leaders. This timely conversation will bring together ​t​he most influential voices in workplace equity and corporate leadership to discuss the trends reshaping talent, opportunity, and leadership pipelines across industries. Drawing on new research and insights from corporate partners, the discussion will explore how companies are building resilient organizations that attract diverse talent, develop leaders, and respond to the realities of a rapidly changing economy.
