In celebration of International Women’s Day, we asked women across the Valcon group a series of questions relating to equity and how we can support women’s rights in the workplace. The consensus is that women’s rights shouldn’t only be confined to International Women’s Day. And that equality and equity issues relate to all areas of diversity. Celebrating gender diversity, ethnic diversity, differences in sexuality and people who come from all walks of life and backgrounds should be part of the diversity journey for all organisations.
