Women make up 45 percent of the workforce at S&P 500 companies. And, over the last several years, many organizations and groups have launched programs aimed at bringing women together in the workplace. LeanIn.org, Sheryl Sandberg’s nonprofit, dedicated a recent campaign to emphasizing that women can be powerful allies for each other in the workplace by encouraging each other and celebrating women’s achievements.
One way to support the ladies in your professional life is by planning an event to spend some quality time outside of the office. All of these events are great for any combination of attendees, but we polled some of our favorite female members of the team to identify experiences they enjoy with their female coworkers.
