To celebrate International Women’s Day, we asked our team members across Australia and New Zealand to share stories about a woman who has made a difference in their life, inspired them and others, or stands out to them as a leader who challenges the status quo.
Thank you to everyone who has shared their stories. Below we have collated all of the stories received. It’s evident that there are some truly amazing Women surrounding us, and it was powerful reading all of your stories, so thank you again. We hope you also enjoy reading these submissions.
Everyone who shared their story went into the draw to win one of two $200 Visa Giftcards to take someone out for a meal in celebration of International Women's Day.
We are pleased to announce the winners of these are Caroline Choong (who was nominated by Ethan Elliot and the team at Sydney Water) and Jerome Ierome. Congratulations - Gift cards are coming your way!
An equal world is an enabled world. That’s why tomorrow, as we celebrate International Women’s Day (IWD), a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women, we reaffirm our commitment to seeing equal and increased representation of women across all levels of our business.
Whether this be in roles involving leadership, operations or trades, we want to see women and men working together to achieve gender equality.
At Programmed, we are committed to keeping improving gender balance and equality. We want women to make up half the roles in our workforce – not just in some roles but in all roles.
So today and over the next week, please take time to read through the wonderful stories shared by your teammates. Please also take the time to read the attached toolbox talk, which contains tips on how you can #AccelerateAction. Take time to recognise the many talented and inspirational women in our business, especially those in your teams. Celebrate too those who are our customers and those special to us in our personal lives.
We encourage you all to be champions of change as collectively, each of us can help create a gender-equal world.
