March is Women’s History Month! So, there’s no better time to demonstrate your commitment to the women at your company by rallying around them for the next few weeks. Here are some activation ideas to enhance employee engagement and create meaningful connections.
Host a Q&A with female senior leaders
Identify senior leaders that would be willing to share their professional journey! On the panel focus on gender, workplace culture and encourage them to share personal experiences. Sample questions can include:
- What’s one piece of advice you would give to women aspiring to leadership roles?
- Can you share a pivotal moment in your career that shaped your leadership style?
- What skills do you think are most critical for the next generation of female leaders?
- How can others advocate for other women in the workplace?
- What policies or initiatives have had the biggest impact in creating a more inclusive workplace here?
Celebrate the women on your team
Elevate the hard-working women in your workplace. Send them a few questions about their role and future goals. Highlight responses around the office, on social channels and in meetings.
Support female-owned businesses
Have your team submit the female-owned business they love! Circulate the information internally to inspire others to support female entrepreneurs.
Consider a scholarship or grant program
Provide financial assistance to women pursuing education or professional development. A scholarship or grant can create long-term impact and demonstrate commitment to gender equality. Don’t want to launch one yourself? Check out grants within Millie and encourage employees to do the same.
Create a Campaign within Millie
Millie encourages users to create campaigns around supporting organizations that employees know and love. Create a calendar of volunteer opportunities, highlight female-focused nonprofits – set a match cap for your campaign to inspire giving!
