Wow, what a week celebrating International Women's Day 👏
This week, across the Bristan Group Ltd and Masco Corporation, we came together to celebrate International Women's Day with a series of inspiring and thought-provoking events.
At the Bristan Group, we hosted several live panel discussions, under the theme "Breaking Barriers", where we heard powerful stories from individuals who have navigated obstacles in their careers.
We engaged in conversations about micro aggression, allyship, impostor syndrome, and talked about the people who inspire us. We also spoke with male allies, exploring why and how they support women in the workplace. The interactive Q&A sessions sparked some fantastic discussions and reflections.
James Woodhouse, who was a panel member, commented "I enjoyed being part of the conversation. I am lucky to have some strong women in my family and I am happy to advocate for gender equality in and out of the workplace. I think it's important that people are recognised regardless of gender."
In addition, we held a series of calls celebrating the women who inspire us, sharing stories of strong women and words of appreciation.
We also celebrated the one year anniversary of two women's groups, our warehouse network group and a finance, procurement and continuous improvement group that were set up as a result of International Women's Day activity in 2024.
The week concluded with a Masco Corporation-led panel discussion featuring an incredible lineup of women leaders from Masco including Lindsey Barber, President, Masco Canada, Jill Ehnes, President, Delta Faucet Company, Megan Selby, President, Behr Paint Company and our own Jen Cassidy, CEO, Bristan Group Ltd. The insights, experiences, and knowledge shared during this session were truly inspiring.
A huge thank-you to everyone who participated, contributed and organised these important conversations. Let's continue to break barriers and champion gender equality on International Women's Day and beyond!
