Empowering Insights: Optibus' Women's Day Panel Sheds Light on Workplace Challenges and the Path Forward In today's professional landscape, the hurdles women encounter remain significant, yet solutions often lie in the perspectives of those directly affected. Recognizing this, Optibus was inspired when our "Women in Transport" group initiated the idea of a panel discussion for International Women's Day. Led and moderated by Yael Masin, Katerina Kampouri, and Georgina Steadman, the session delved into real experiences from our female staff, tackling restrictive stereotypes, discrimination, and harassment — issues that, while disproportionately affecting women and minorities, have the potential to impact anyone in our workplace. The panel served as a poignant reminder that while many of the experiences discussed occurred outside of Optibus, they offer invaluable lessons on where and how we can strive for improvement within our own company. At Optibus, our resolve is firm: to cultivate a work environment where such challenges are not just addressed but eradicated. This commitment was mirrored in our panel, a forum that welcomed all employees and facilitated a sharing of impactful, eye-opening stories. It highlighted how critical support is — not just in overcoming these challenges but in fostering an inclusive, empowering workplace culture. The takeaways from this panel were clear and compelling: support is not just necessary; it's transformative. And the responsibility to offer this support lies with each of us. Together, let's continue to support, uplift, and empower. Happy Women's Day! Here's to making a difference, together. #WomensDay #InternationalWomensDay #GenderEquality

Celebrate Your Strength on Women's Day! I'm thrilled to be celebrating International Women's Day with Intellicore Consulting Group tomorrow by offering a workshop on "The Real Self-Care." Let's face it, self-care is often thrown around as a buzzword, but what does it truly mean? Especially for women juggling so much, prioritizing ourselves can feel like a luxury, not a necessity. That's where I come in! In this workshop, we'll delve deeper into the authentic meaning of self-care and explore practical strategies to navigate the demands of modern life while prioritizing your well-being. P.S.
