International Women’s Day

International Women's Day (IWD) has always been about recognition, but in 2026, it's also about reflection and responsibility. For organisations around the world, this day invites us to pause and ask a deeper question: Are our workplaces truly designed for the full reality of women's lives or just the version that's easiest to accommodate?

Burnout in women is rarely about a single stressor. It’s about pressure without permission – pressure to perform without pause, to lead without rest, to give without replenishment and to succeed without acknowledging the cost. IWD is a call for organisations to move beyond symbolic support and towards structural empathy. Where flexibility is not seen as a concession but as a strategic investment. Where support systems are proactive, accessible and designed with real lives in mind. When we design systems that account for caring, health transitions and life complexity, we create environments where people can show up fully.
