International Women’s Day was celebrated around the world on Tuesday, March 8. As one of Nielsen’s annual calls to action through our Women in Nielsen (WIN) Employee Resource Group 그리고 Nielsen Cares, our associates marked the day with activities on March 8 and throughout the month. This year’s theme, “Pledge for Parity,” emphasized the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women, while at the same time calling attention to the urgent action needed to accelerate gender parity around the world.
For example, a recent Harris Poll study highlighted some of the gender gaps in attitudes and opportunities in the United States. Three-fourths of Americans (75%) believe the U.S. has come a long way toward reaching gender equality, but strong majorities believe that female leaders have to work harder than men to prove themselves (83%), women’s contributions in leadership roles often go unrecognized (78%), and being a parent has more negative implications on a woman’s career than on a man’s (75%).
세계 여성의 날을 위한 이벤트, 패널 토론 및 온라인 포럼을 통해 닐슨 직원들은 세상의 변화에 영감을 준 여성들을 축하하고, 여전히 어려움을 겪고 있는 여성들을 돕고, 자신의 삶에 영감을 준 사람들을 기억할 수 있는 기회를 가졌습니다. 동남아시아, 북아시아 및 태평양 지역 사장인 청타이 렁과 제품 리더십 사장인 메간 클라켄이 임원 스폰서로서 세계 여성의 날 기념행사를 지지했습니다. 또한 세계 여성의 날을 맞아 북미, 인도, 아프리카, 중동, 유럽, 라틴아메리카에 이어 동남아시아, 북아시아 및 태평양 지역(위 사진 참조)에서도 WIN이 출범했습니다.
On March 10, 2016, Terri McCullough, CEO of No Ceilings: The Full Participation Project, participated in a global webinar for Nielsen associates. McCullough shared data and findings from the March 2015 Full Participation Report, which analyzes global gains made for and by girls and women over the last two decades, as well as the gaps that remain. To mark the report’s one-year anniversary and this year’s International Women’s Day, the No Ceilings initiative also launched a digital campaign to share “ceiling-breaking” moments of progress that have been made toward gender equality over the past year.
