How Contently Supported International Women’s Day

At Contently, we cherish our female leadership not simply because they are women, but because they bring a perspective this company needs to succeed.

This International Women’s Day, Contently dressed in red to show solidarity with the amazing women of our offices. All employees started the day with a message on their desks, detailing stats on the gender pay gap and other inequities facing women in the workplace. We took time to learn more about women’s history through an engaging presentation, and even indulged in cupcakes from women-owned bakeries. Since women are paid, on average, 80 percent of what men make for the exact same job (though not here!), the women of Contently were encouraged to take the last 20 percent of the workday off, free at 3:24 p.m. to do whatever they felt is right to change the world on their own terms.
