We forge a better world by inspiring others to understand and value women's inclusion. And when we are inspired to be included, there's a sense of belonging, relevance and empowerment. The theme of the IWD 2024 is #InspireInclusion, a reminder to celebrate and honour the day to forge a more inclusive world for women and all collectively. The theme truly encapsulated the theme of the day.
Inclusion plays a crucial role in achieving gender equality, and Inspire Inclusion encourages everyone to recognise the unique perspectives and contributions of women from all walks of life.
For Signify, International Women's Day is an opportunity to:
The theme for this year resonates deeply with our values as we strive to create a workplace where every woman can succeed without limitations. At Signify, we are committed to fostering an environment that empowers women within our organization and beyond, inspires positive change, and unites us in our collective efforts to create a more empowering workplace and equitable world.
Talking about inclusion and equal opportunities for all can encourage a workplace that encourages women to get involved in areas and industries that are largely made up of men. Take, for instance, the lighting industry in the UK. If we look back a few years, this was a male-dominated industry. Gladly, things have changed over the years with the development of roles and opportunities. We now see more females across levels in the industry – electricians, installers or leadership positions. For us IWD presents an opportunity to:
Reinforce Signify's commitment - To be a great place to work where people belong and have an impact.
Engage with employees - Engage employees across the company and raise awareness about inclusion and gender equality.
Engage with external candidates - Position Signify as a great place to work for Women and all genders by sharing our people's stories, our journey & our progress in DE&I.
