March is Women’s History Month, a time to celebrate achievements and strides towards gender equality. It's also a great opportunity to recognize the contributions of women in your workplace. Here are some ways to empower and celebrate your female colleagues.

Ways to empower women workers

Support work-life balance

Research from the Institute for Gender and the Economy highlights the challenges women face in maintaining work-life balance, often juggling multiple responsibilities and household labor. Employers can alleviate this by:

  • Offering flexible working hours
  • Providing remote or hybrid work options
  • Creating a supportive community for working mothers

Create a mentorship program

Mentorship isn’t just about celebrating women's progress; it's also about recognizing the work that still needs to be done for a more inclusive workplace. A well-designed mentorship program can facilitate career advancement and increase representation in leadership roles.

This involves women leaders sharing their knowledge with younger employees, providing guidance and support along the way. Meetings and workshops can help women network, learn from each other, form strong bonds, and create an uplifting environment.

Conduct a DEI culture audit

Use Women’s History Month to evaluate your organization's diversity, equity, and inclusion practices. Consider questions like:

  • How many women hold executive positions?
  • What is the total representation of female employees?
  • How often are women promoted?
  • Do female team members get recognized and rewarded?

Setting up a gifting program with Corporate Gift can make collecting this data easier, helping you identify patterns and see who gets rewarded most.

Organize performance reviews

Research shows women often hesitate to advocate for themselves in the workplace, resulting in fewer requests for raises or promotions. Prompt conversations about career advancement opportunities during performance reviews to ensure equitable opportunities for all employees.

International Women’s Day activities

Celebrate International Women’s Day in the office on Friday, March 8th. Better yet, make these activities a regular occurrence rather than a one-time event.

Organize a lunch-and-learn

Invite guest speakers to share insights on women's empowerment and leadership during lunchtime sessions.

Host a panel discussion

Organize panel discussions on gender diversity and inclusion, inviting local advocacy groups to speak.

Offer skill-building workshops

Offer interactive workshops covering negotiation, public speaking, financial literacy, mindfulness, and stress management.
