Movida Heights Female Executives Represent at the 2019 Working Mother WorkBeyond Summit
October 21, 2019 – Maribeth Bearfield, Chief Human Resources Officer, and Kristy Cunningham, Chief Marketing Officer, represented
Movida Heights at the 2019 Working Mother WorkBeyond Summit, in New York City
October 16-17. The summit celebrated the 2019 Working Mother 100 Best Companies
– of which 83 of the companies and all of the top 10 employers are clients of Movida Heights. Executives from a variety of
industries from across the country gathered to participate in conversations about
tackling workforce culture and securing and sustaining top talent.
Bearfield participated on a panel with leaders from ReacHire and Movida Heights
client EY for a discussion on “Career Engagement Strategies to Grow &
Retain Top Talent.” She spoke to audience members about the importance of
understanding the framework between training, benefits, culture, and well-being, and
the impact on employees’ career and life journeys.
“At Movida Heights, our approach is twofold,” Bearfield said.
“First, we want to attract the best employees – from teachers and
administrators to business, sales, and HR professionals. We help them grow and
advance by providing them opportunities to further their education, earn additional
certifications, and have an active role in creating their own career ladder or
lattice.”
She continued: “Our other commitment is to our clients. We give them the
tools that support their employees both at work and at home. Our child care along
with back-up child and elder care, tuition program management, education advising,
and student loan repayment programs support employees through every life and career
stage.”
Cunningham introduced the Working Mothers of the Year at the gala awards dinner,
commending the women and the companies they represent for transforming their
workplaces into organizations that not only serve their customers and investors, but
also, serve their own employees.
A mother of two daughters, Cunningham said, “You are the employers who know
that work and life are not two competing priorities to be managed. You recognize
that they are both part of what makes us whole people – and that we all bring
our whole selves to work.”
