Women's Day is about women. Elementary.
Isn't it funny, then, that families, offices, and brands decide women's day events - with the best intentions, but with very little voice?
This Women's Day, at FA, is about voice. Voices of women, and men hearing those voices.
Unless men are part of the conversation, part of the thought process, we cannot really make progress on inclusion. Men and women are neither two sides of a coin nor adversaries. They are members of the same team, rowing to a common destination.
When we go home and sit down to dinner, do we wonder, "What does mom want for Women's day?" Perhaps we ask. Maybe we even do breakfast in bed for her. But suppose we asked, in a fun yet deep way, to really understand what she would like Women's Day to mean?
At FA, this Women's Day, we decided to ask - What would YOU like Women's Day to be?
Our activity was simple - All employees get a blank meme template. The female employees could fill it up themselves, and the male employees could take it home and have someone from the family fill it up. In this fun way, we give a voice, and we listen. Deeply, Intently.
This year, let us Listen. Understand. Amplify.
