主题演讲：分布式劳动力中的包容性领导

雅各布斯车程向多样性和包容性的焦点ed first on gender, but for its 55,000-person global workforce, the events of this summer put a sharper focus on its efforts around people of color. While in the U.S., that may mean African Americans, Hispanic American and others, it can encompass an even wider range of backgrounds throughout Jacobs’ offices in 50 countries. The board, executive leadership and senior leaders as well as younger leaders have embraced the need to draw in underrepresented parts of society. In his Top Young Professionals Conference keynote, Pragada will share Jacobs’ journey to build teams that don’t look alike or think alike but are the most innovative and productive and identify solutions that could help firms of all sizes develop more inclusive thinking.

PANEL: Stay Balanced, Work Smarter: Successful Work-life Integration

Balancing a family and career is a perennial struggle. Keeping work in one hand and life in the other is a challenge that throws many young professionals off balance, feeling that they don’t have enough time for either.

This session will focus on strategies to achieve an integration of work and life that will support success in both worlds. Panelists will offer real-life examples of what works and what doesn’t, strategies in time management, communication, planning and more.
