"Don’t assume that life will pan out exactly as you plan; when things don’t go as expected, it can actually lead to an even better situation. Most importantly, be yourself, as everyone else is already taken."
Helen Sheppard
"We need to celebrate women at all levels who are helping to change the status quo and to recognise men as allies who champion, sponsor and mentor women"
Michèle Tiley-Hill
"I think it is incredibly important that as we begin to understand more about our diversity and inclusion data we share it wherever possible"
Marc Schmitz
"I think it is just awesome to see the development within our business so that women have the same opportunities as men, and men as women, that we are just one big united group"
Yancy Weinrich
"I have mentored many women in my career at RX, and have had wonderful mentors myself, including both men and women. It's important that men are allies to us"
Chiara Abbate
"As long as there are women frozen in stereotypes thinking they will never reach the positions they strive for, then we will need a specific day to celebrate and promote gender equity. This is not about putting women in leadership positions because they are women, this is about breaking bias."
Martina Candillo & Karin Zechner
"Today is a day to remember how important it is to support women in the workplace. In my leadership role, I give women a chance for equal career opportunities"
