Katica Roy Speaking Topics

  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Future of Revenue

    The Future of Revenue is about utilizing artificial intelligence to enable employers to make decisions to maximize the potential of their workforce. When 96% of CEOs say gender equity is one of their top 10 priorities while only 22% of employees say that gender diversity is regularly measured and shared, the leaky workforce pipeline is not being addressed and leaving financial returns on the table. So how do employers identify the cracks in the workforce pipeline and improve their financial performance?

    In this talk, Katica Roy, explains how she’s built a robust, data-driven platform using advanced technology, including artificial intelligence, to ensure equitable decisions and eradicate bias in human capital decisions that leads to improved financial performance for the organization, as well as growth for the individual.

  • Fix the Leaky Talent Pipeline

    Many believe gender equity is a social issue, but the economics tell us it is a massive, trillion dollar opportunity. In fact, every 10% increase in gender equity boosts company revenue by 1-2%. Companies that want to do right by all their stakeholders—employees, customers, investors, and communities alike—need a plan to fix the leaky pipeline of women and other under-resourced talent cohorts. Learn why it pays to prioritize gender equity in the workplace.
