For International Women’s Day and beyond, let’s build a more inclusive workplace
Lean In is proud to partner with International Women's Day by providing FREE impactful resources and co-hosting a special IWD #InspireInclusion event.
Helping women achieve ambitions and companies build inclusive workplaces
Women have made important gains in representation in the last few years. But we're still a long way from equality.
Lean In’s research shows that bias contributes to women being passed over for jobs and promotions, and almost 60% of women regularly experience microaggressions at work. Additionally, for many women, finding meaningful support at work is a major challenge. About 20% of women say they’re often the only woman in the room at work.
Knowing that these issues exist isn’t enough. We all need to take action and #InspireInclusion — on International Women’s Day and beyond.
Lean In’s research-backed programs can help do just that. Lean In helps companies create inclusive workplace cultures and connect women with the leadership training and peer support they need to reach their goals.
Download one of Lean In’s FREE resources, distributed in partnership with International Women’s Day, to build a more inclusive workplace in 2024 and beyond.
Plus, participate in the FREE IWD 2024 #InspireInclusion event hosted by Lean In.
Register for this special one-hour virtual event coming up on March 5 and be inspired through actionable steps to build a more inclusive culture at your company.
Don't miss out on this very practical and insightful IWD event open to everyone.
