It’s time to recap a busy year, where employers have been challenged like never before to embrace and redefine new ways of working, meet the needs of a more diverse and far flung workforce, and provide leadership and support amid increasingly uncertain social and economic conditions. A tall order for our dedicated Roundtable members to be sure — and the Center has tried to meet these challenges with a record number of benchmarking, networking and learning opportunities.

We were thrilled to see so many of you just a few weeks ago at our Fall Roundtable meeting in Boston — our first in-person event in three years! What a robust exchange with experts on everything from flexible work to navigating identities at work and what’s next in mental health in the workplace. We were particularly proud to share our newest executive briefing A Model for Supporting LGBTQ+ Employees: Providing Safety, Equity & Community, brought to life with a powerful panel discussion with our member companies EY and Vertex Pharmaceuticals. 

Through engagements with members and professional organizations like WFRN, NAAAP, and The Boston Club, we shared our latest research and best practices on building cultures of well-being, employee belonging, and making hybrid work. And as always, we continued to research and advocate for working parents, with our Executive Director Brad Harrington sharing his insights throughout the year with outlets such as WSJ, WorldatWork, and The Skimm. 

We look forward to continuing our partnership in 2023 and, as always, hearing from you on how we can engage with you and your colleagues even more. There is still much good work to be done!
