International Women’s Day: How workplaces can accelerate action

Executive summary
This International Women’s Day, we have an opportunity—not just to celebrate women’s achievements, but to reaffirm our commitment to accelerating action. In today’s polarized environment, companies around the world may feel challenged to hit pause, but history shows that those who continue to invest in inclusion and belonging are better positioned for long-term success.
Join Catalyst for our webinar: International Women's Day - How Workplaces can Accelerate Action, where we’ll explore how organizations are using the finesse approach to ensure progress continues even in times of uncertainty.
The session will launch with a snapshot of new research from the Catalyst CEO Champions For Change initiative, a community of organizations pledged to advance more women into all levels of leadership.
Highlights include:
- Evidence that inclusion is a core value that drives business success and positively impacts employees, customers, and communities.
- How resilient organizations maintain or increase their investments in reducing talent gaps and fostering inclusive work cultures, even in the face of broader challenges.
- Growing commitment to pay equity audits and other pay equity processes.
- Learn why these companies continue to outpace their peers in gender diversity at all organizational levels, including Boards of Directors.
International Women’s Day is an opportunity to step back and take the long view. Explore how we can all engage in accelerating action in a sustainable way, including:
- Embedding inclusion as a leadership value and in operations.
- Implementing inclusive initiatives that support fairness and well-being.
- Aligning with transformative policies, such as the European Women on Boards and EU Pay Transparency directives to drive lasting change.
