Every single day, and especially today on International Women's Day, we celebrate the remarkable women who form an integral part of our Eurocold family. Throughout the week, Chief Operations Officer Kanani had the opportunity to attend the East Coast Forum IWD event and the 2024 Diversity in Transport Breakfast hosted by the Queensland Trucking Association Ltd. Here are some of her key insights from the week… 🌟 Virgin talks about the cultural add versus cultural fit. As we move to more of a focus on diverse workplaces, it's less about the 'fit' and more about how employees 'add' to the culture of the organisation which has clear values. Eurocold’s values of ‘People are everything’, ‘In it together’ and ‘Enjoy the ride’ are intended to celebrate our diversity and serve as a call to action for everyone within the company. All of us; employees, leaders, and those from different cultures and diverse backgrounds are just humans at the end of the day. We need to be kind to ourselves as we navigate respectfully in the workplace. One of the ways we can encourage diversity in the workplace, is to simply be welcoming and kind. JUST BE YOU. For women in particular, it's vital to ensure access to job opportunities and allow ample time for their professional growth at a practical pace within an organisation. It's essential to acknowledge that we're addressing deep-rooted systemic issues that have accumulated over time – it will take time to unwind them. Ultimately, we need to keep focused while being impatient and patient at the same time. 🌟 Here's to all the brilliant minds behind the scenes who keep our business thriving and our fleets running smoothly. And to you, our valued partners and clients who trust us to deliver as we drive our industry forward. Happy IWD!

As we carry forward the spirit of Women's Day, our journey into the narratives of empowerment and progress within the workplace persists. Today, it is my privilege to spotlight Minerva Acevedo, a shining example of resilience and achievement in the FMCG industry. Minerva's odyssey as a woman in this realm stands as a testament to her unwavering determination and unwavering resolve. In an industry historically dominated by predefined standards of conformity, Minerva's trajectory underscores the transformative power of a supportive workplace environment. The creation of spaces that champion diversity and embrace individuality is essential to nurturing women talent and fostering professional fulfillment. At LS International, we firmly believe in the intrinsic value of cultivating workplaces that celebrate diversity and empower all individuals to thrive. It is within these inclusive environments that women, like Minerva, are empowered to realize their full potential and contribute meaningfully to their respective fields. While the beauty industry may often be perceived as homogeneous, Minerva's narrative underscores the vital importance of diversity in creating a supportive ecosystem for women. Through collaboration, mutual respect, and the celebration of unique perspectives, diversity becomes the cornerstone of a vibrant and inclusive workplace culture. Indeed, Minerva's story serves as a powerful testament to the strength and resilience of women in the face of societal norms and expectations. As we continue our reflections on Women's Day, let us honor the achievements of women like Minerva, who challenge the status quo and pave the way for a more inclusive and equitable future. Stay tuned as we delve deeper into these inspiring narratives, exploring the myriad ways in which diversity fosters a supportive environment for women in the workplace.

On this Women's Day, let's reflect on the true essence of empowerment in the workplace. While we celebrate progress, it's crucial to acknowledge the challenges that still exist. Behind the veil of Women's Day celebrations, some companies preach empowerment and support, yet many harbor managers who exhibit dictatorial tendencies. Let's strive for workplaces where women feel safe, supported, and respected. True empowerment means fostering an environment of trust and openness, where every voice is heard and valued. Together, let's create workplaces that prioritize the well-being and growth of all employees. *Happy Women's Day!!!*

The Power of Women: Making an Impact Every Day As we celebrate International Women's Day, it's important to reflect on the incredible ways in which women are shaping our world, not just in the workplace, but in every aspect of our lives. From our communities to our families and friendships, women are making a profound impact through their daily actions and commitments. One of the most remarkable aspects of women's influence is the way they show up for others. Whether it's supporting a friend through a difficult time, volunteering in their local community, or simply offering a listening ear, women consistently demonstrate compassion, empathy, and strength in their interactions with others. In our workplaces, women are also changing the way we work, bringing new perspectives, ideas, and leadership styles to the table. From breaking glass ceilings in traditionally male-dominated industries to advocating for greater work-life balance and flexibility, women are reshaping the corporate landscape in meaningful ways. But perhaps most importantly, women are building and nurturing support systems that are essential for personal and collective growth. By cultivating relationships based on trust, empathy, and mutual respect, women create spaces where others feel seen, heard, and valued. This sense of community not only provides a source of strength and resilience for individuals but also lays the foundation for positive social change. However, building a support system takes more than just good intentions. It requires vulnerability, courage, and a willingness to show up authentically, even when it's uncomfortable. Women who embrace these qualities inspire others to do the same, creating a ripple effect of empowerment and connection that extends far beyond their immediate circles. As we honor International Women's Day, let us take a moment to recognize and celebrate these amazing women.

Today is International Women’s Day… and generally, I love a bit of an IWD event to celebrate and reflect. This year’s campaign theme is “Inspire Inclusion” and the call is that when we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion, we forge a better world. No arguments from me. The belief that everyone fundamentally needs and deserves to experience belonging, relevance, and empowerment, well that’s a world I’ll strive to make real for sure. But this particular week I’m pretty bloody tapped out personally, so instead of a special event… the team got nothing more than a plate of morning tea pastries, a handful of words & an apology. Turns out that showing up as a mother/wife/GM/friend/daughter can leave you running on fumes just a little too often. But being surrounded by the glorious wāhine of Made Curious (Adithya Nair, Abbie Reid, Catherine Maritz, Eila Gendig Emma Naji Jacquie A. Jess Costello Julia Tokumaru Kathryn Walker Kirsty Dunford Letitia (Tesh) Powell Marjolein Visser Sharmaine Vinzon Shelly Robinson Tineke Corin (Houthuyzen) was just what I needed today. Because my apology was met with immediate solidarity and understanding. Our collective sentiment feels something like “hell yeah, keep on striving to raise women up and provide challenging opportunities, but let’s also try and establish a world that offers more support and understanding across all the roles they play in our workplaces, homes and communities so we don't spread them too thin along the way” With all the things on our plates, it’s all too easy to be redlining and that’s not really winning at all eh. So, happy International Women’s Day team - truly appreciate you all. #internationalwomensday2024

BLOG POST 🙌! Unleashing the Power of Diversity and Collaboration: A Tribute to International Women's Day 🌐🌸 As we celebrate International Women's Day, it's not just about acknowledging the accomplishments of women but also recognizing the immense strength that diversity brings to our workplaces. The Power of Diversity: Diversity is not merely a checkbox on a corporate policy. It's a vibrant tapestry woven with the unique strengths, perspectives, and experiences that women bring to the table. In embracing diversity, we don't just meet quotas; we unleash a wealth of creativity, innovation, and resilience. Women, with their diverse backgrounds and perspectives, contribute to a dynamic and inclusive workplace that fosters growth and success. 🌈 Celebrating Strengths: The key is not just recognizing diversity but celebrating it. Every woman brings her strengths, skills, and unique qualities that contribute to the overall success of the team. By celebrating these strengths, we create an environment where individuals feel valued, heard, and empowered to excel in their respective roles. It's a celebration that goes beyond policies; it's a genuine acknowledgment of the impact women make every day. 🎉 Working Together as Humans: The quote also emphasizes the power of collaboration. It's a reminder that as humans, regardless of gender, we are a force to be reckoned with when we work together. Collaboration breaks down silos, fosters open communication, and allows the collective strength of a diverse team to shine. When women and men collaborate seamlessly, leveraging each other's strengths, the possibilities become limitless. 👥💡 Unstoppable Force: As we reflect on the journey of progress and equality, let's envision a workplace where diversity is not a checkbox but a celebrated aspect of our culture. Imagine the synergy created when individuals come together, appreciating and leveraging the strengths unique to each gender. This synergy, this collaboration, is the unstoppable force that propels our workplaces toward excellence. Conclusion: This International Women's Day, let's commit to going beyond policies and quotas. Let's celebrate the strengths that women bring to our workplaces and recognize the unstoppable force that emerges when we collaborate as humans. In doing so, we not only empower women but create a work environment where everyone thrives. After all, the celebration of diversity and the power of collaboration are the cornerstones of building a truly exceptional workplace. 🚀🌐✨

This Friday, March 08, is International Women’s Day! Allyship is important in making sure that everyone is not only invited to the table but is also heard, acknowledged, and recognized for their contributions. When we raise our expectations on matters of inclusion, we can have deeper conversations on this essential aspect of workplace culture. Inspired by articles written by contributors for International Women’s Day (IWD) and Women for Women International (links for both pages are listed below), the following are some ways that individuals, particularly men, can help uplift women in the workplace: · Mindful Reflection: Embracing a growth mindset means acknowledging our biases and actively working to overcome them. Every step forward is a step towards progress. · Authentic Connection: Go to the source and engage in authentic conversations. Listen, learn, and let the stories of women and other underrepresented groups inspire a shared narrative of empowerment. · Building Alliances: Cultivating supportive partnerships is key. Teams should actively work towards fostering an environment where everyone feels heard and valued. · Amplifying Voices: Speak up and "call in" when witnessing abuses of power. Let your voice echo with courage, resilience, and a commitment to a world where everyone is treated with dignity. · Creating Space: Step back to allow others to step forward is vital. True leadership is about empowering others and creating an environment where everyone can thrive. · Modeling Diversity: Be a role model for diversity by showcasing different ways of being and leading. Our differences are our strengths. · Communication Matters: Mindful communication builds bridges. Let words be beacons of inspiration, unity, and empowerment. In conversations, we shape a world where everyone feels seen and heard. · Owning Our Impact: Understand the impact of our actions, take responsibility, and course-correct with grace. Each moment is a chance to redefine our narrative and contribute to a more inclusive tomorrow. Let's make every day an opportunity to celebrate and support women. Together, we can create a more inclusive and equitable world. Interested in learning more? Visit the International Women’s Day website (https://lnkd.in/giy5fvjA) and Women for Women International (https://lnkd.in/gyrgvHVg) for additional resources and insights on how to play a part in driving positive change. It's essential for everyone to actively engage in these efforts, not just on International Women's Day, but throughout the year! #internationalwomensday2024 #internationalwomensday #IWD2024 #womenforwomen #allyship #InspireInclusion
