The Importance of Celebrating International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day takes place on March 8th every year. It is a day to celebrate women’s achievements in areas like culture, economy, & society overall. These recognitions play an important role in creating equitable and equal roles for women in society. 

It is necessary to celebrate women in the workforce. It helps empower women to share their opinions and to continue adding value to societies. This year, the women of NVISION gathered to celebrate our accomplishments and discuss topics around women in the workforce.

Here are some reasons why it is important to discuss women in the workforce.

Empower Women in the Workforce

When you discuss women in the workforce, you are empowering them to succeed. Women feel recognized and as though their opinions and knowledge is valued. It gives women an opportunity to voice their opinions without fear. These discussions can also reveal discrepancies in a workplace, highlighting issues that need to be addressed. Although the dialogue is about supporting and uplifting women, it is also about creating a more equitable society for everyone.

Encourage Action

Every discussion needs a plan of action in order to spark a change. Issues within a workplace needs to be addressed so it can be a step towards gender equality. Many women may not come forward and speak about negative experiences if there will be no change. On International Women’s Day, it is important to remind your employees that gender inequality is not tolerated and that action will be taken. It’s an opportunity to give a refresh on policies that protect your employees from harassment or abuse.

Celebrate Womens’ Successes

Whether it is big or small, every success deserves to be recognized. International Women’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate women’s enormous contributions. In every industry, women have contributed to advancements and successes. Use International Women’s Day to celebrate your female employees and highlight their successes.

Reveal Workplace Improvements

In many cases, workplace issues may go unnoticed. This can be simply because employees are fearful of coming forward. Many women face issues in the workplace that can make them feel isolated and question their positions. Having discussions in a peer group may reveal what needs to be addressed in order to improve your working environment.
