Women’s History Month & International Women’s Day 2023

Join Catalyst in March to
Accelerate Inclusion in Your Workplace

Inclusion is no longer a nice-to-have, optional element in the workplace. It’s imperative. Clients, customers, and employees both expect and demand it. Yet Catalyst research shows that only one-third of employees experience inclusive team dynamics at their companies—and that when they do, team innovation, citizenship, and problem-solving as well as individual work engagement and experiences of inclusion at work are likely to go up.

With the stakes for companies and employees higher than ever, how do we ensure that inclusive policies, practices, and programs stay at the top of corporate priority lists?

By taking action—together.

This year, during Women’s History Month (observed in March in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia), and International Women’s Day (March 8), join us as we:

  • Celebrate the individuals and organizations who #EmbraceEquity and created cultures where #InclusionThrives.
  • Share our research and resources through weekly engagements to expand your company’s understanding of inclusion and continue building more equitable workplaces.
  • Invite companies and individuals (like you) to share stories of what inclusion looks, feels, and sounds like in your workplace using the #InclusionThrives hashtag.
  • Give you the tools to create greater equity and inclusion through our Women’s History Month toolkit and International Women’s Day event guide, which are available below.

A Bold Focus Every Week

Inclusion is complex and multifaceted, so we’re breaking it down into four weeks of research, tools, resources, social engagements, and speaker spotlights to help you dive in. Each week, you’ll gain insights and energy to continue pushing for inclusion within your organization and industry.
