Prime Employers for Women

Where Women Work makes all the difference

International Women's Day (IWD) provides a key moment to celebrate the achievements of women in the workplace and shine a light on the employers supporting them.

While IWD is the biggest employee engagement day of the year, Prime Employers for Women maintain a deep and continuous focus on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) all year round.

Increasingly, organizations worldwide provide progressive policies, practices, benefits and support mechanisms so women's careers can thrive - and these workplaces offer appealing job opportunities. Plus, celebrating the work of women inspires further women to achieve their full potential.

There are a number of women in the workplace focused organizations like Lean In, Catalyst, and Where Women Work, that collaborate for International Women's Day to elevate the focus on attracting, retaining, and developing women's talent in the workplace.
