International Women's Day has passed, but Mercedes-Benz AG's message of empowerment resonates every day. This video challenges the idea that women need to be exceptional to succeed. It poses the question of what if women could simply be engineers, athletes or leaders, without the qualifier of being female? Imagine a world where equality is the norm, not something to strive for. We're imagining it, and we love it! #mercedesbenz #equalityforall #genderequality https://lnkd.in/eTjwPpxA

Celebrating Women's History Month with a nod to Bertha Benz, a trailblazer in the automotive world. In 1888, she embarked on a groundbreaking journey, driving her husband's invention over 100 kilometers. Bertha's resourcefulness, fixing technical issues with a hat pin and garter, showcased her pioneering spirit. A recent LinkedIn analysis shows that women are more likely than men to take a career break. The most common reason women take a step back? Full-time parenting — with those breaks lasting a median of three years. This however does not limit women and mark them incapable, it is just a phase of life. If women like Bertha Benz and all the women around the world are supported, not only will they shape the automotive history like Bertha did but also contribute to inspiring inclusion for women in the industry and "leave a dent" in the universe just like Steve Jobs did. A salute to Bertha Benz and the countless women who continue to break barriers! I want to hear from you: How have you seen companies support women returning from a career break such as parental leave?

🚗 Breaking Barriers: Supporting Women in the Automotive Industry 🚗 Why aren't there more women in the car industry? 🤔 Our recent study looked into why women might not want to work in cars. We found that many people think there aren't enough female leaders in the car world, and that companies don't treat men and women equally. Also, some women say it's hard to balance work and home life, and they feel like they can't move up in their careers as easily as men. 😔💼 We need to change how people see the car industry and make it easier for women to work in cars. Let's work together to make the car world more equal for everyone. 💪🌟 #WomenInCars #EqualOpportunity

Although Women's History Month has passed, it's critical we continue to highlight the ongoing challenges women face, especially in major industries like #automotive. Women remain underrepresented across the industry, comprising only 24% of auto manufacturing workers as of 2020. Understanding and addressing this disparity is vital to fostering a more inclusive and sustainable industry future, especially as the shift towards #EVs demands expansion. As Allison Grealis, founder and president of the Women in Manufacturing Association, aptly puts it, "People don’t stay at organizations where they don’t see themselves." A lack of diversity among leadership can leave employees questioning their long-term prospects. A massive thank you to Allison Grealis, Jody Stidham, Joanna C. Cooper and Anthony Allen for sharing their invaluable insights on paving the way for greater #genderdiversity and #inclusion in the automotive sector.

An important topic that weighs heavy on me - equity and inclusion. Having spent 30 years in Automotive, I am passionate about creating more opportunities for greater diversity and inclusion. The stats speak for themselves. Deloitte research shows that organizations with inclusive cultures are 2x as likely to meet or exceed financial targets, 3x as likely to be high-performing, and 8x as likely to achieve better business outcomes. Big THANK YOU to Automotive Dive Megan Ruggles for speaking with me about why improving #diversity and creating opportunities for #womeninautomotive is as important as ever.
