1) Summary: How Technology Can Help to Retain Female WorkersName: Carly Stern HP Innovation Magazine
Category: Business and FinanceEmail: query-boih@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: HP Innovation Magazine
Deadline: 10:00 AM EST - 18 December
Query:
I'm working on a story for Innovation, HP's corporate magazine,
about how record numbers of women are being forced out of the
workforce right now due to the pandemic. The story will explore
how technology can be harnessed to retain women, and re-engage
those who have been out of the workforce for years. I'm
interested in spotlighting technology-based solutions and tools
already being deployed, and those that could be deployed -- the
piece will focus on the present, as well as the future beyond
the pandemic.
I'm looking to speak with a woman working in the private sector
(industries like technology and business would be ideal for the
focus of this particular story) who either a) was working prior
to the pandemic, but has had to leave a job due to caregiving
responsibilities; b) has been out of the workforce for a long
time, but is looking for work again; or c) is weighing the
decision to stay or leave a job right now due to pressures of
the pandemic.

In terms of industries, tech and business are a focus for this
particular story, so it would be ideal to speak with someone
who's had experience in those sectors.

I am looking for executives or people in IT security roles who
experienced a ransomware attack over the past year.
I am already speaking to experts, official sources etc. and DO
NOT NEED additional sources along these lines. I am looking for
someone who can explain how it feels, personally, to go through
an attack like this, how it affected your ability to do your job
and any hidden or collateral effects that aren't often
discussed.
Requirements:
PR and marketing people: please do not use this as an invitation
to pitch me about the five things your CISO client thinks
companies need to do to protect themselves from ransomware.
I'm looking for ground level, personal experiences from folks
who have seen the destructive impact of ransomware firsthand.
They should also be free to discuss the incident openly, free of
restrictions. For that reason, it may make sense for someone who
worked at an organization during an incident but has since moved
on.
