International Women's Day is just a few weeks away, a day that calls for equality and respect for gender diversity. Do you want to do your bit? We propose you to empower female talent in your organization, we tell you how!

Empowering female talent and developing gender diversity

March 8 is International Women's Day, a key date on the calendar and one that has gained an immense following in recent years. It is time for these efforts to reach the workplace as well.

What do we mean? From Ready for Peoplewe believe that a good way to commemorate March 8th is by organizing an experience dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of equality and the need to break with old models.

During the month of March, organizations could dedicate a few hours to conduct a workshop, a conference or other group dynamics with the following objectives:

• Raise awareness about gender diversity and what it brings to organizations.
• Developing female leadership and changing traditional perspectives.
• Reflect on the topics and macho behaviors in companies.
• To think of actions that the group of collaborators can carry out.
• Empowering women in the organization, but also the team as a whole.

In short, to make the group aware that the old models in organizations can and must be left behind in order to seek more inclusive models, based on diversity and collaboration.

Furthermore, it is very important that all of this is not seen as implementing "feminine values", but to understand that we are dealing with leadership models and styles of the 21st century, which integrate all the people who are part of a team.

Why should organizations claim diversity?

Beyond the obvious reasons, such as that all people deserve equal respect, treatment and opportunities, diversity in organizations provides a wide range of benefits.

In fact, in recent years, several studies have shown that diverse and inclusive companies show a strong competitive advantage over those that are not.

If we focus solely on gender diversity, organizations that champion equality and show a balance in male-female leadership generate:

• Greater commitment among employees, as everyone feels included.
• A stronger corporate image by representing the social reality around them.
• Higher organic growth.
• Increased performance, productivity and profits, as there is more motivation and better work.

Therefore, Ready for People encourages you to organize an experience dedicated to equality. The format and content will be customized according to the reality of the organization, whether it is a mostly male, female or more balanced team.

This March 8, and throughout the year, empower female talent and you will see that the whole team will be strengthened, cohesive and benefited. If you are interested, please contact us!
