Tomorrow, we join the global community in celebrating International Women's Day 2025. This year's theme, "Accelerate Action", emphasises the urgent need to advance gender equality across all sectors. In the professional services industry, particularly within Private Equity and Investment Management, women have been instrumental in driving success and innovation. However, achieving full gender parity remains a work in progress. At the current rate, it could take until 2158 to reach complete equality. As a recruitment agency specialising in placing Executive Assistants within PE firms, investment management companies, and other professional services, we recognise the critical role women play in these positions. Executive Assistants are often the backbone of their organisations, ensuring seamless operations and contributing to strategic initiatives. This International Women's Day, we commit to accelerating action by: • 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻: Providing opportunities for career advancement and professional development. • 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘆: Advocating for inclusive hiring practices that recognise and value diverse talents. • 𝗙𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: Creating environments where all voices are heard, respected, and valued. Together, let's #AccelerateAction and work towards a future where gender equality is not just an aspiration but a reality. #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2025 #AccelerateAction #GenderEquality #WomenInBusiness #ProfessionalServices #ExecutiveAssistants #DiversityAndInclusion
