We Hosted the Unstoppable Together Job Summit

2020 was a challenging year for everyone, but women have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic and resulting lifestyle changes. 

During the last year, in what is being labelled the ‘SHEcession’, 5 million jobs were lost – with four times more women than men leaving their jobs. Women were also three times more likely to sacrifice their career for family.* These revelations put us in danger of reversing the incredible work that has been done over the last few decades to defy stereotypes and ensure that women make strides in their careers. 

Regardless of the setbacks, things are looking up – we recently welcomed the first ever female Vice President, there are now 144 women in Congress and the FORTUNE 500 is now represented by more female CEOs than ever before. 

We stand ready to create a SHEcovery from this SHEcession and help women to feel empowered, supported and able to find work. That’s why we hosted the No7 Unstoppable Together Job Summit. 

No7 Unstoppable Together 

What was the No7 Unstoppable Together Job Summit? 

We teamed up with FORTUNE, Hello Sunshine and The Female Quotient to host a free, day-long virtual job summit that was open to all women, everywhere. We heard from some of the brightest female minds across various industries, arming women with tips, resources and advice to help them secure the employment they deserve.
