March 8 is International Women’s Day (IWD), which is a day dedicated to acknowledging and celebrating the accomplishments of women around the globe. While IWD focuses on female empowerment and success, the main goal of the day is to achieve gender equality.
This year’s theme is “Break the Bias.” By breaking the bias, we can reach a state of gender equality by emphasizing inclusivity. Read more about the meaning behind this year’s theme, as well as how you can get involved, on the IWD website.
Here at UPMC Enterprises, we “break the bias” by having numerous women in leadership roles and emphasizing the importance of our Guiding Principles which encourage creativity and collaboration regardless of gender. On International Women’s Day and every day, UPMC Enterprises is focused on amplifying female voices and fostering an inclusive and diverse culture.
To join in on the IWD discussion, use the hashtags #IWD2022 and #BreaktheBias on social media.
