Accenture Southeast Asia celebrated IWD 2024, and the celebration was a great reflection of the efforts made by individuals and organizations from various industries and geographical locations over time.
"There is no complete celebration until all get celebrated" reminds us that everyone should have an equal opportunity to prove themselves before being excluded from the task.
After hearing distinguished panelists Ashmita Acharya, Wee Wei Ng, Preeti Arora Razdan, Mark Tham, and moderator Anca Vasilescu almost all echo that everyone needs to be brave and resilient in all situations, which will lead you to do not only good things but the right thing.
We all admire in our life how women are the center point to infuse resiliency, empathy, respect, and many more in childhood and those become personality traits that women highly likely your mother and it could be sister, neighbors, Nanny, school teacher, and many more.
At some point in our lives, we all admire women who have infused resilience, empathy, respect, and many more qualities in our childhood. These traits often become an integral part of the personalities, and the woman is not limited to a mother but it could be a sister, nanny, school teacher, and many more.
I feel grateful to hear amazing personal stories, and how societies have changed tremendously in the last 20 years, and much improvement in Asian countries during this time. This progress needs to continue for the establishment of an inclusive and diverse society.
The great news is that on 14 June 2017, Accenture set a goal to achieve a gender-balanced workforce (50% men and 50% women) by 2025, and it's on the right track to achieving this.
Let's all continue to put effort into building inclusive, diverse, and gender bias-free workplaces to create an innovative and prosperous society.
Happy International Women's Day! “Be Without Limits”
