Empowering Women: Celebrating International Women’s Day at Flix
As the world celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8th, we at Flix join the global movement in honoring the achievements of women worldwide. This day serves as a powerful reminder of the progress made towards gender equality while acknowledging the ongoing work required to ensure inclusivity for all.
This year’s global campaign theme “Inspire Inclusion,” resonates deeply with our core values, the Flix4. We firmly believe in dismantling barriers, challenging stereotypes, and cultivating environments where every individual is valued and respected.
At Flix, we are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion as pillars of our success. This is why we are continuously challenging the status quo regarding gender equality within our company towards achieving the most equitable workplace possible.
During Flix Women’s Month, our Women at Flix Employee Resource Group (ERG) curated an enlightening talk series that provided a platform for Women in Leadership to share their insights and experiences. Among the distinguished speakers were Marianne Heiss and Monique Meche, members of the Flix Supervisory Board.
As Marianne and Monique shared insights from their personal and professional experiences, they offered invaluable perspectives on leadership, resilience, and navigating challenges in male-dominated industries. Their stories served as a source of inspiration for all attendees, highlighting the importance of mentorship, authenticity, and self-belief in achieving success.
Additionally, we are proud to highlight some recent achievements by Flix globally:
- FlixBus France achieved outstanding scores of 96/100 in the Professional Equality Index, demonstrating a strong commitment to promoting gender equality.
- FlixBus Italy embarking on the gender equality UNI/PdR 125:2022 certification process, reflecting dedication to equal opportunities.
- Hayley Russell, Team Lead of Operations, and Francesca Hand, Operations Manager at FlixBus UK have both been acknowledged for their notable contributions to the transportation industry and their commitment to delivering service excellence.
As we celebrate International Women’s Day, let us reaffirm our commitment to championing diversity and inclusion. Together, we can create a more equitable and empowering world for all.
