Women in technology can play a pivotal role in accelerating their own careers. Sharing strategies for this was the focus of the recent ADP Inclusion Summit 2022 panel discussion "Views from the Top: How Women Can Take the Lead in Tech." Here are the main takeaways shared during the insightful conversation.
