Today is International Women’s Day! On this day, we celebrate the achievements of the women around us and raise awareness about the continued struggles for equality and gender parity. This year’s global theme is “inspiring inclusion.” Inspiring inclusion encourages everyone to recognize the unique perspectives and contributions of women worldwide by challenging stereotypes, breaking down barriers, and creating an environment where all women are respected. Here are some ways we can inspire inclusion in our workplace: - Be an Ally: Support and uplift your female colleagues and help champion their voices. Listen to their experiences and validate their perspectives. - Celebrate Women’s Achievements: One of our values is Do Great Work Together. When one of us succeeds, we all succeed. Recognizing each other’s achievements promotes camaraderie and boosts morale. - Seek Women’s Input: Involve women coworkers in the decision-making processes. Their perspectives are valuable and contribute to well-rounded decisions. - Support Groups at L&P that Champion Women: The Women’s ERG’s mission is to raise the visibility of women, celebrate their unique contributions and perspectives, foster personal and professional development, broaden their support network, build allyship, and influence positive change.

International Women's Day | Friday, March 8 The campaign theme for International Women's Day 2024 is Inspire Inclusion. When we inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion, we forge a better world. And when women themselves are inspired to be included, there's a sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment. To truly include women means to openly embrace their diversity of race, age, ability, faith, body image, and how they identify. Worldwide, women must be included in all fields of endeavour. When women aren't present, we must ask: "If not, why not?" When women are discriminated against, we must call out poor practice. When the treatment of women is not equitable, we must take action. And we must do this each time, every time. Collectively, let's forge a more inclusive world for women. Read more:

In a company where more than half of the workforce comprises women, celebrating Women’s Day is more or less like a festival. Every year on the 8th of March, we come together to celebrate International Women’s Day. This day marks the significance of honoring the remarkable journeys of women throughout history. It serves as a pivotal reminder to renew our commitment to uplift and empower the women around us. Yet, amidst the celebrations, we must question: “What makes a woman truly empowered?” Well, in my opinion, women’s empowerment begins with ensuring women’s safety and comfort. True empowerment arises when women feel secure and valued, wherever they may be. As an individual leading a company that encompasses numerous talented women, I deeply appreciate their contributions to every spectrum of our organization. At UltraCare PRO, we uphold gender equality, offering equal opportunities to both, with women occupying leadership roles as prominently as their male counterparts. In light of the recent legislation of the Prevention of Sexual Harassment (POSH) Act, our commitment to making a harassment-free workplace is resolute. We stand firmly by the principles outlined in the POSH Act. This International Women’s Day, I urge everyone to try and make an environment that makes women feel safe and supported. Let’s be the catalysts that enable women to thrive professionally, knowing they are respected and valued at the place they work. Wishing you all a Happy International Women’s Day!
