Resilience and Allyship during Covid (30 minutes)
summary
Covid drives one in four women to consider leaving the workforce and produces burnout rates 1.5–2.5x higher than men, with Black women feeling least supported, according to McKinsey/LeanIn figures cited. Thrive‑WiSE (formerly Code Chicks) builds targeted programs for R&D engineers: education, mentorship, sponsorship; a safe‑space and allyship training piloted at a Fortune 100 reports excellent feedback. Practical tools include the Dasher allyship spectrum, repeat coaching, self‑assessment, and measurable iterative evaluation.
