The theme for International Women’s Day this year is Inspire Inclusion and when women are inspired to be included, there’s a sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment which creates a more inclusive world for women.
Since our SHE Means Business lunch & learn event launched in 2017, we have been inspired by the many women business leaders who have generously shared their knowledge and expertise with us. We are all the better for their insight and the relationships we have built with our wonderful attendees.
To celebrate International Women’s Day, we have featured some of the inspirational women we’ve met through our SHE Means Business event.
Jo Gregory and Jane O’Gorman Directors of recruitment agency Ten2Two
“There are some fabulous voices championing women in the workplace, and the legislative landscape is slowly catching up.” Read more…….International Women’s Day – Ten2Two (hillierhopkins.co.uk)
Miriam Reason, mental health specialist and founder of Reasonful
“An important yet often overlooked piece of the puzzle is culture, employees at any organisation won’t find mental health initiatives empowering without a corporate culture that backs it up.” Read more….. International Women’s Day – Reasonful (hillierhopkins.co.uk)
Anna Peck and Michelle Stacey, founders of marketing agency Midnight Blue
“We have found that working mums, who multi-task all of the time, will achieve a huge amount to high standards in a short space of time. Short-sighted businesses are losing out on this phenomenal resource.” Read more….. International Women’s Day – Midnight Blue (hillierhopkins.co.uk)
Donna Schultz, Managing Director of the Hertfordshire Chamber of Commerce
