Supporting women in the seasons of life as they get their first gig, get pregnant, or go through menopause is crucial in retention and advancement, said Sangeeta Moorjani, head of tax-exempt market and lifetime engagement at Fidelity Investments.
People want to have a sense of belonging and connection, said Moorjani, who spoke at the Fortune Most Powerful Women Summit this week. Women want to know that if or when they’re burnt out someone will support them. That means creating an open forum for women at your organization, Moorjani said, so every woman can have that place as a sort of equalizer—whether it’s a woman going through menopause, a woman who just had her first child, or a woman in her first job.
