Women, come here. I wanna see something.

This Women's History Month, I'm asking you directly.

Every March, we get the think pieces. We get the LinkedIn carousels. We get the "celebrating women in leadership" posts from companies that haven't promoted a woman past middle management in three years. We get content from people who don’t mention the over 600k Black women forced out of the workplace, the millions of women globally in the midst of political turmoil, the ones in the LGBTQIA+ community facing life threatening circumstances in their home, the care givers who have to make financial decisions that have lasting implications, the over 50 year olds who can’t retire or are facing underemployment due to the economy…I could go on. And that sucks.

And somewhere in all of that noise, the actual stories of women navigating the workplace get lost.

I'm not interested in letting that happen again.

Here's what I'm doing instead.

I built a short survey. Five minutes. Maybe less if you type fast. It asks women to share their honest experiences with equity and inclusion in the workplace, what's working, what's not, and what they actually need from the organizations they work in and for.

No media filter. No corporate face. Your voice.

Why this survey, why now?

Equity Activations exists because I believe the people closest to the problem are also closest to the solution. I’ve been in those situations. Gidget has been me. The Reqs have been me. I have a lot more stories and I know you do too. Too often, the research that shapes how organizations approach equity comes from sources that are far removed from the day-to-day reality of being a woman at work.

I want to change that, starting with data we build ourselves.

Here's what happens next:

In April, I'll share the findings right here in this newsletter. And those findings will go directly into Equity Activations' client work, informing the audits, workshops, and consulting engagements we do with organizations that are serious about getting this right. Your story won't disappear into a database. It will do work.

Take the survey here.

And if you know anyone else who identifies as a woman who should weigh in on this, please share it. The more voices we gather, the more honest and complete the picture.

Thank you for being part of this.

Facilities and Culture?

I'm lucky enough to be married to a great person. But even more amazing is that he's in an entirely different field but cares a lot about people in the workplace as a Facilities professional. He was recently featured in this article so check it out!
