In March, we celebrate Women’s History Month, a time to come together and recognize the impact of our female associates throughout Gartner. Every year, it is essential to embrace this month and highlight the support we offer in order to work toward a more positive future.
We have planned activities for the weeks ahead, with our Women at Gartner team organizing in-person workshops, coffee chats, panels, book clubs and more, all of which offer a chance to reflect, raise awareness and advocate for one another as we embrace the message of inclusion shared around the world.
This year’s International Women's Day theme is #InspireInclusion. When we inspire others to understand and value women’s inclusion, we forge a better world. We asked our associates to share how they inspire inclusion at Gartner and advice for anyone looking to do the same.
“Inspire Inclusion makes me think about carving my own path while celebrating the paths that others are taking. I’m really inspired by people who live their lives in unique, unexpected ways. And I’ve learned so much from people with totally different experiences, interests and backgrounds than me.” - Emily Sue T., Director, Team Manager
“To me, Inspire Inclusion means creating an inclusive and diverse environment where every employee has the opportunity to reach their full potential.” - Taruna G., Senior Director, Data Analytics
“Inspire Inclusion is more than a theme that signifies the importance of fostering an environment where everyone feels valued, respected and empowered regardless of their gender. It also encourages us to forge an environment that uplifts and amplifies the voices of all women, ensuring that no one is left unheard or unseen.” - Aanchal B., Project Manager
At Gartner, we know that inspiring inclusion inevitably makes us a better place to work, and Emily, Taruna, and Aanchal highlight its importance when it comes to experiences, environment, and empowerment. Our goal is to continuously foster a workplace where all associates can thrive, and these ongoing efforts have been recognized and celebrated by Newsweek, naming Gartner as one of America's Greatest Workplaces for Women 2024 and also by Forbes for America's Best Employers for Women for 2023.
We aim to continue to advocate for each voice and thank our associates for sharing their words of encouragement.
