3) Summary: How Technology and Tools Can Help to Retain Female Workers

Name: Carly Stern HP Innovation Magazine

Category: High Tech

Email: query-bpxq@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: HP Innovation Magazine

Deadline: 3:00 PM EST - 5 January

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 new tools can be harnessed to retain women, and re-engage
those who have been out of the workforce for years.

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) has benefitted
from her employer providing tools/technology that's made working
with caregiving responsibilities easier b) was working prior to
the pandemic, but has had to leave a job due to caregiving
responsibilities c) has been out of the workforce for a long
time, but is looking for work again and can speak to tools that
have made the transition easier d) or is weighing the decision
to stay or leave a job right now due to pressures of the
pandemic.

I'm looking for an anecdotal example of this experience, rather
than an expert/academic perspective. Thank you!
