Today is International Women's Day (IWD), a day to celebrate women's achievements and contributions.
It also draws attention to gender equality, advocates for women's rights, and reminds us of the need for progress in education, health, and economic opportunities. By better understanding the need to include women, we create a better starting point and opportunities for women to develop, especially in the workplace.
IWD has a special meaning for

Women in
The idea of creating this community was first discussed over a coffee in early 2023, and very soon, a small group of women agreed to join and work on it. Current members of WIB found each other through word of mouth and appreciate each other for their drive, leadership, professionalism, and community spirit.
We consist of members across all locations worldwide and from various disciplines - such as Sales, Manufacturing, Quality Control, Human Ressources, and Business Process Management.
During the past few months, we have worked out what we believe would help other women in
THE MENTORING PROGRAM
We are delighted about the upcoming launch of the first WIB initiative - a six-month mentoring program aimed exclusively at women in
Our mentoring program fosters personal development over several months, recognizing that meaningful behavior change takes time and sustained dialogue between mentors and mentees. We aim to create a supportive environment that complements the line manager's role and provides additional insight and perspective to support the mentee's development.
When the first pilot of this program launches in the second quarter of this year, we want to learn from, evaluate, and adapt the valuable feedback we receive from participants. We also aim to generate interest from the female community to increase the number of participants and make this exciting initiative a success.
We look forward to launching this empowering mentoring program soon. Stay tuned for more information.
BUILDING A STRONGER FUTURE
A mentoring program for women is crucial to an inclusive work environment as it redresses the gender imbalance by providing tailored support and guidance. Such programs empower women to overcome career challenges and promote personal and professional development. By recognizing the importance of mentoring, women's achievements are encouraged and valued, helping to create a more inclusive and equitable working environment.
