This year's campaign theme #PressforProgress provides a timely opportunity for women to check in and see what their employers do to advance gender parity in the workplace. What key policies, initiatives and programmes exist to attract more women into the organisation and to develop and retain them? Are there women leaders at the top? Do both men and women work flexibly? Do women like working there? Where Women Work looks at how companies commit to #PressforProgress.
And remember to check out the International Women's Day website for great resources, videos, articles, social media cards, posters, events, IWD widget and more.
Prime employers for women meet Where Women Work's 10 important criteria, so it is useful to consider them for your next career move.
Progressive companies value gender parity and they actively support women to enjoy meaningful and rewarding careers - employers like EY, Vodafone, Caterpillar, MetLife, AECOM, F5, Diageo, Rio Tinto, UNHCR, Schneider Electric, Amazon, University of Sheffield, Northrop Grumman, BD, EBRD, Tyro, McKesson, government bodies and more.
