Any time is the right time to salute and support women, but some days were literally made for it — like International Women’s Day!
Celebrated annually on March 8, International Women’s Day commemorates the social, economic, cultural and political accomplishments of women globally. This designated day not only acknowledges the remarkable contributions of women but also serves as a reminder to amp up awareness regarding the ongoing battle for gender equality.
This year’s theme is “Inspire Inclusion,” a concept that resonates throughout Partner.Co, as we flourish thanks to diversity and cherish the contributions of everyone around the world. In fact, this shapes our company’s culture, as we believe in providing an equal opportunity for people — regardless of gender — to live their dreams.
In our efforts to Inspire Inclusion, we recognize that everyone in our organization has a role to play. True inclusion involves openly embracing the diversity of women worldwide. Partner.Co actively contributes to Inspire Inclusion in various ways, including:
- Forging women’s economic empowerment
- Supporting women in leadership, decision making and business
- Designing products and tools that meet the needs of women
- Aiding women in making informed decisions about their health
- Providing access to quality training for women
- Recruiting, retaining and developing female talent
