Make March 8 Count Every Day of the Year

Beating heart of the data ecosystem to orchestrate data movement, control and trusted protection in any environment and across any platform.
Sent today to All RingCentral Employees.
This time last year, I commemorated eight extraordinary women whose history and contribution inspire me – my grandmother being one! However, in just twelve months, the world has become a much different place. As a committed ally, this year, I would like to offer eight invitations to raise awareness – eight actions for March 8…
1. Understand how the pandemic has stalled progress significantly.
Some suggest by 25 years! Read what UN Women and Women Count have to say.
2. Mind the gap.
Our colleagues from the United Kingdom, have taken the message and urgency above to heart. Visit the web site they have created to raise awareness. Also available in versions for the United States, France, and soon for Germany.
3. Weigh in.
Internal only.
Celebrate amazing people pushing boundaries by taking part in the I Weigh movement on RingCentral Spirit (internal Glip team messaging). Brought to you by the RingCentral Women & Allies Coalition, RCause, and Employee Programs.
4. Listen to your leaders.
Internal only.
Also brought to you by the Women & Allies Coalition, RCause, and Employee Programs, sign up for this Wednesday’s SaaSy Women’s Leadership panel (internal only).
5. Connect.
Internal only.
Join RingCentral Women in Leadership group (internal Glip team messaging) for news, information, and show your support. Share what you are doing today to keep this "day" alive on social media!
6. #ActforEqual.
Understand more about the United Nations efforts to celebrate the tremendous efforts by women and girls around the world in shaping a more equal future and recovery from the COVID-19.
7. #ChooseToChallenge. #IWD2021.
Choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequality and help create an inclusive world. This message from International Women’s Day website, rings so true, “a challenged world is an alert world.”
8. Make it count – every day!
The challenge with a yearly day of awareness? It is just once a year! Be accountable for our own thoughts and actions – all day, every day, all year long.
