IWD organizers are asking individuals and companies to celebrate women's achievements, raise awareness against bias, and take action for equality.</p><p>Inspired by these themes, we decided to ask PowerToFly partner companies how they are supporting women at work through both longer-term initiatives and March-specific programming for International Women's Day and/or Women's History Month. </p><p>Read on and get inspired! </p>
