A call to action

It’s March, which means we’re celebrating Women’s History Month.

At Rework Work, Women’s History Month holds deep significance for us. We are a woman-led business, proud of what we’ve built, and grateful for the generations of strong women who fought to shape our current reality. There are so many reasons to celebrate the progress women have made throughout history.

But, our work isn’t done. Advocacy and awareness are as critical as ever.
Consider these workplace statistics:

Women earn 22% less than men on average, with Black and Hispanic women facing the largest pay gaps. One key factor? Women are overrepresented in low-wage jobs, making up more than half of minimum-wage workers.

Mothers earn 70% of what fathers make, largely due to discrimination and caregiving responsibilities.
75% of senior management roles are held by men, despite women comprising nearly half of the U.S. workforce. Women hold a mere 10.4% of CEO positions in Fortune 500 companies, while men occupy the rest.

Pay gaps, leadership disparities, and inequities continue to persist for women in our workplaces. If we stop pushing forward, we will move backwards.

Here’s an action step for you: Write down your personal commitments to challenging these inequities. Make them practical and meaningful based on your unique context and experiences. Sign your name at the bottom and put it somewhere you’ll see often. Then, let these commitments guide how you live, how you confront discrimination, challenge bias, and advocate for equity — even when it feels like an uphill battle.

At Rework Work, we will keep talking. We will keep championing inclusion. We will keep helping organizations build equitable workplaces.

And if that’s not for you, that’s okay — there’s an unsubscribe button at the end of this email.

This is who we are, and this is what we stand for.

If your values align with ours, we can’t wait to work alongside you!

"Lead with Inclusion: Inclusive Action at Work"

What does the elephant in your workplace look like?

Not all elephants in the room are loud and obvious. Sometimes they show up in more subtle ways — small, everyday behaviors that fly under the radar unchecked. But does that make them any less harmful?

In this issue of Lead with Inclusion, we’re tackling the elephant of racism in the workplace. We’ll explore what it looks like and, more importantly, what we can do about it.

Stacey is heading to London next week and is looking forward to presenting at the ICAEW Practice Dinner!

Unconscious Inclusion — March Discussion
Friday, March 21 at 11 AM PT / 2 PM ET

Should DEI have a formal role in institutions?

DEI programs are designed to create more opportunities for underrepresented groups. Critics argue they prioritize identity over merit and create division, while supporters say DEI fosters innovation and reduces discrimination.

So, can DEI be both fair and effective?

Let’s discuss ideas AND solutions!
