Today marks the 111th celebration of International Women’s Day (IWD). Every year, March 8 reminds us to honor the achievements of women and lobby for accelerated gender parity. Bittersweet by nature, this year’s IWD coincides with the two-year anniversary of the initial calls for social distancing and shelter in place.
For 2022, the theme of International Women’s Day is #BreakTheBias, and though we’re only beginning to understand the full impact of the pandemic on the workforce, research indicates that women bore the brunt. With that in mind, I asked women from across the HR and recruiting space to offer thoughts on what employers can do to #BreakTheBias in their recruiting and retention efforts.
