Celebrating International Women’s Day with Our Male Allies
Today, on International Women’s Day, we in the ICUnet.Group want to celebrate alongside our male allies. There is a strong sense of gender equality within our company, and our male allies are a key part of reinforcing this. Together, we strive for full gender equality and express our gratitude for their continuous support.
What Our Male Allies Have to Say
Mathias Taubert (Business Consulting and Training) says, “Gender diversity is a men’s issue! It’s not about 'us' and 'them'. We all win!” Many men are happy to leave behind outdated ideas and embrace work structures that allow them to balance work and family, while women advance in their careers.
Clemens Döllerer (Global Mobility Services) shares, “As a leader, I stand up for equal pay in my team and beyond and encourage women’s leadership.”
Michael Allmis (Marketing) states, “Men and women deserve the same respect. Fight injustice. Fight sexism. Live equality.”
How to Support Gender Equality as a Male Ally
Todd Wehrkamp (Digital Learning) reflects on his own privilege and how to use it as an agent of change. “Start by reflecting on how women are disadvantaged in the workplace and society.”
Todd Shinholster (Business Consulting) shares his personal commitment to supporting women, saying, “My daughter Anna has grown up constantly hearing me say… 'You do you! Stand tall, stand proud and give back to those around you!'”
