Valuing Women, Inspiring Futures

March 7, 2014 Friday Morning. A happy morning because most awaited Saturday was only few hours away…… I reached office on regular time, and while I was going through my emails suddenly, a mail popped up from our “Happiness Brigade”…………

“Wishing You all a Very Very Happy Women’s Day!!!

All the Beautiful and Talented Women of our WM Family are invited in the Main Bay Area at 12:00 noon sharp.

And, all Men are invited to be at their side.. J”

This looked to be exciting, although Women’s Day was on March 8, but it was falling on Saturday that’s why our Organization was celebrating it on March 7.

Sharp at 12:00 all the employees gathered in the Main Bay Area. Everyone was clue less that why are we all here. We all noticed that all male members of E2 Team “The Happiness Brigade” were already waiting for us..

Everyone was discussing what could be the reason for calling us here, and then…….. We saw three trays full of Chocolates, Flowers and Cards entering the Bay Area!!!!!!

Guess what!!! These Flowers, Chocolates and Cards were for honoring Female Employees. All the Female employees were Surprised and Happy to receive such Respect and Honor. Trust me this was beyond Expectations. At the same time, we got to know that our Organization (WM Logistics) takes utmost pleasure and pride to say that one fourth of our valued employees are Women

This is really a good symbol specifically when we all talk about the “Gender Equality”. It is rightly said that Countries with more gender equality have better economic growth. Companies with more women leaders perform better. Peace agreements that include women are more durable. Parliaments with more women enact more legislation on key social issues such as health, education, anti-discrimination and child support. In short, equality for women means progress for all.

After this small gathering, all the smiling faces returned to workJ. Nevertheless, this was not the end; the second half of the day started with more excitement. E2 Team had put up Charts in the cafeteria for “Slogan Writing Competition” and it turned out to be one of the main attractions of the Day. All the employees took active participation in the Competition and came up with their beautiful thoughts, and shared their feelings by penning down their views in Words.

 Later on, in the evening, there was a Special Activity where only male employees were requested to take part in “Expressing Gratitude towards the Most Important Women of their Life”. Where our male colleagues spoke and expressed gratitude towards the support of women in their lives. The Cake Cutting Ceremony followed this.

This was a beautiful way to make, Women in the organization feel that the efforts they put in every front, are truly valued and appreciated.

This event was really successful, as I being a Women enjoyed it a lot and felt Valued. All the Employees were all smileys and were thankful to the E2 Team (The Happiness Brigade). 

I am really Happy that I am a part of WM Logistics Indore….
