This International Women's Day, we take part in forging a path to a gender equal world by celebrating the women who help shape the lives and culture at Everise. As we drive forward, Everise is proud to play our role in creating equal opportunities for women around the world.

A little while back, I spoke at a Female Entrepreneurs Day event with my youngest daughter sitting front and centre for my talk with Sophia, a social humanoid robot developed by Hong Kong based company Hanson Robotics. The interaction with Sophia was quite interesting to say the least, but the real reason I got involved with the Female Entrepreneurs Worldwide (FEW) organisation was to talk about the HeForShe movement, show support as well as give a bit of my insight and knowledge to the ladies in the audience that day.

Workplace diversity is the differences between a set of people in each work setting. In today’s global work economy, however, diversity must be recognized in all its forms. At Everise, a customer experience company, diversity is nurtured by thinking at all levels, including the perception of one’s self and of others through their global exchange programs. For companies to thrive, workplace diversity and inclusivity should be adopted.
