International Women's Day: Celebrating Progress and Championing Balance
Gone are those days when women were seen as a second option in the workplace. We now have women across the globe who are doing amazingly well and acing their game, but we cannot deny the fact that there's still a gap between men and women when climbing the leadership ladder.
Celebrating this year's International Women's Month with the theme "Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress," this calls for concrete action to empower women and bridge the gender gap across social, economic, and political spheres.
We've come a long way, but there's still room to be more intentional. That's where the amazing HR team comes in; they can help get this balance in the workplace! Here are 5 tips on how HR can champion and get this balance for women in the workplace:
HR can make sure everyone gets paid fairly at your job. They do this by checking data to find any problems and by making clear rules for getting promoted. This way, everyone has a fair shot at moving up!
Picture this: doing great at work and still having time for fun stuff! HR can help with this by offering flexible work options like working from home, shorter work weeks, or part-time jobs. They can even remind everyone to take their vacations.
