International Women’s Day: Inspire inclusion

International Women’s Day is more than just a date on the calendar; it’s a celebration of resilience, achievements, and the strong spirit of women worldwide. This year’s theme, “Inspire Inclusion,” serves as a call to action, encouraging us to envision and actively work towards a world where every woman is not only acknowledged but genuinely empowered. At MeridianLink®, our commitment to inclusion is exemplified through initiatives like our Women in Tech Industry (WITI) Employee Resource Group (ERG). This ERG stands as a testament to our dedication to fostering professional development and personal growth in an inclusive, supportive environment that celebrates the unique contributions of women in both the workplace and communities.

Today, we pay tribute to the strides made, applaud those who have propelled us forward, and acknowledge the work that lies ahead.

Since its inception, International Women’s Day has embodied values such as justice, dignity, hope, equality, collaboration, tenacity, appreciation, respect, empathy, and forgiveness. These principles have been the bedrock of a movement that challenged societal norms, shattered glass ceilings, and paved the way for future generations of women to thrive.

Women across the globe have achieved remarkable milestones in diverse fields, from science and technology to politics and the arts. Their contributions not only enriched their respective domains but also inspired generations to come. Looking back, we honor the trailblazers who fought for equality and defied stereotypes.
