How Canadian Companies Should Celebrate International Women’s Day

This year’s International Women’s Day (IWD) put into stark focus the impact of COVID-19 on many women in the Canadian workforce. Unfortunately, many female workers will come out of the pandemic farther behind than their male counterparts.
