Welcome to I Love My Job, the series where we hear from women who really love their jobs. In this edition, we sat down with Elisa Tavarez, an executive assistant lead at Alight Solutions, a company she’s been at for over 16 years!
Looking back, Tavarez recalls beginning her journey at the company as an experienced administrative assistant. “From there, I was promoted to a senior administrative assistant and then to an administrative operations manager,” she tells us. “Today, I’m considered an executive assistant lead, and I’ve been leading our administrative team for over six years.”
And this isn’t the end of Tavarez’s impact either! She also leads Alight’s Familia Latinx Colleague-Led Community (CLC). CLCs (which also include the Women’s Professional Network, Young Professionals Network, and many more) enable employees to find mentorship and sponsorship, as well as to receive support from talented professionals in other areas of the business who they might not normally collaborate with.
“As a Latina, I’ve been able to take advantage of career development that is geared toward growing Latinos in the management space,” notes Tavarez. “This has afforded me so many opportunities and has helped me grow my own career and journey here at Alight.”
In the video, Tavarez shares more about why she loves working at Alight. We also provide lightly edited highlights from the video discussion in the following article on Fairygodboss – https://bit.ly/452u3fk
