On International Women’s Day, we are proud to celebrate the incredible women at Diaverum, who make up 76% of our workforce. These women inspire, lead, and make a difference every day, by providing life-enhancing renal care to more than 42,000 patients in 24 countries around the world.
International Women's Day (IWD), celebrated annually on 8 March, is a global day honouring the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. This day has been observed for over a century, with the first IWD gathering in 1911 supported by over a million people.
IWD also serves as a powerful call to action for accelerating gender equality. According to the World Economic Forum, if current trends continue, it will take until 2158 - approximately five generations from now - to achieve full gender parity.
The theme for IWD 2025 is "Accelerate Action". This theme emphasises the need for swift and decisive steps to achieve gender equality. It highlights the importance of increasing momentum and urgency in addressing systemic barriers and biases that women face in both personal & professional spheres, to achieve positive progress for women everywhere.
At Diaverum, we truly believe that delivering the highest quality of care requires a diverse workforce. Diversity and inclusion create a well-integrated working environment, and lay the foundation for personal & corporate success.
In addition, our culture of True care, which defines who we are and guides all our actions, emphasises equal employment focused on competence and skills.
Most of our workforce are nursing staff, who are predominantly female, and as an equal opportunity employer, we aim to even out gaps wherever possible.
We remain dedicated to identifying where we must work harder to promote equal opportunities.
This International Women’s Day, let's #AccelerateAction for gender equality, together.
