Capgemini Americas Corporate Social Responsibility Capgemini Americas Corporate Social Responsibility

In celebration of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, we invite you to listen in to a conversation about the Muslim woman experience! Arifa Syeda is a PMO Analyst, SAP Consultant, and active member of Capgemini ERG communities. She plays a role in our very own Women@Capgemini Americas Communications Team as our Podcast Editor and now finds herself in front of the mic this time.

In this episode, she converses with Christine Stack, Vice President and Head of Human Resources for CIS Americas, to share her reflections about observing Ramadan, fasting while working, wearing hijab, and embracing the core message of International Women’s Day.

In this episode, we learn from Capgemini's very own: Alicia Wagner! Alicia is a Senior Director of Engagement Management within Cloud Infrastructure Services (CIS) with a role that focuses on both enabling strategic objectives within delivery and mentoring teams to achieve KPI's. She speaks from experience as a volunteer at the Tech Transformation Academy, a program by the City of Refuge in Atlanta that recruits and trains underrepresented and underemployed candidates through coding and cybersecurity bootcamps. Today, she'll converse with Executive Recruiter Christine Stack about their insights on hiring from non-traditional pathways, the unspoken expectations for job mobility, and the initiatives available for mentoring and upskilling.

In today's episode, we will be discussing the Importance of Women's Health and Well-Being in the Workplace and a very crucial, yet overlooked topic - menopause. Menopause tends to affect women at the peak of their careers. Its symptoms like hot flashes, brain fog, and migraines cause women to silently suffer this "workplace taboo"  causing many women to leave the workforce altogether.


Our Women in Digital host Christine Stack, Head of HR for Capgemini CIS Americas, sits down with three women to share their personal experiences and offer support, information, and resources to other women:


- Jill Angelo who is the CEO and Founder of Gennev, the nation's largest virtual menopause clinic and was named one of Inc.'s 2021 Top Female Founders


- Jill Weber who leads Capgemini's Global Partnership Relationship with ServiceNow


- Carla Heimbigner who is a Global Partner Leader at ServiceNow and 100% dedicated to Capgemini


We hope that this discussion normalizes menopause in the workplace, encourages allies and employers to understand and support those with menopausal symptoms, and empowers women to take control of their health and well-being.
