Dear Readers,
To all leaders, it is time for us to uplift the voices of women everywhere — those who hesitate to speak up about bias in the workplace and outside of it, and those who are actively advocating against it.
Regardless of gender, International Women’s Day (IWD) 2022 on 8 March is a beautiful moment for all of us to reflect on and celebrate the strides made in women empowerment globally. Together, we can take it further and make more progress in support of women’s rights socially, economically, culturally, and politically.
In support of this year’s theme, the team at Human Resources Online explores what it means to #BreakTheBias.
While it may not be noticeable to many of us, gender biases and stereotypes have been deeply ingrained into our working norms, influencing the way we work – from our hiring processes to our daily environment/workplace/interactions. Over the coming weeks, HRO has prepared a line-up of stories and interviews, sharing how leaders are breaking the bias for a more inclusive and fair workplace as well as society, going beyond commemorating just IWD once a year.
We hope these stories inspire you to join us in challenging the bias, and spark change everywhere.
Happy International Women’s Day!
