国际妇女节(IWD) was created to advance gender parity, and it’s become customary for businesses around the globe to share stories showcasing women’s resilience as they honor the date on March 8. This year, IWD hit our calendars only three days before the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. This meant some updates to the plans, butLabcorp.仍然使用我们的综合药物开发和诊断业务的权力来承担其第一个协调一致的全球企业激活，以认识到帮助进一步使命以改善健康和生活的妇女。
“For 2020, we shared 20stories from women来自我们的社交媒体渠道的全球业务 - 他们是令人难以置信的鼓舞人心，“达勒姆，德尔姆，N.C的雇主品牌营销经理Leigha说：”我很幸运地面试每个女性。每次我退出视频会议时，我都以其对人和患者的承诺而令人满意的。但是，我们的亚太地区的人民可能甚至更长时间才能坚定，因为他们的国家是冠状病毒大流行的第一次影响。“
In fact, as 35 sites across LabCorp and Covance, LabCorp’s drug development business, hosted an interactive activity that produced 3,114 handwritten sticky notes that recognized, thanked and celebrated women’s contributions across the enterprise, many of the cities where we have sites in the Asia-Pacific region were already locked down.
“We were concerned about our colleagues, especially those in China, who could obviously not participate in any activity that involved people gathering together,” Leigha said. “But at the same time, there was an ever-growing sense of pride as we heard stories from those colleagues and saw them adapt. The stories shared reminded us how resilient and committed our people are, and that gave us a feeling of unity and strength knowing that we had the resources to be part of a global solution.”
Our colleagues in Asia found creative ways to participate, sending photos wearing purple and standing with their arms in an equal sign in honor of this year’s theme, #EachForEqual, as well as sending virtual notes to each other to recognize past and current contributions.
On the other side of the world, our global Women’s Empowerment Network (WEN), an employee resource group with a strong base in the United States, continued to support its members as a sponsor of the global activities.
“This made it more important than ever that we recognized individual’s contributions to our business success,” said Justyna, a staff scientist and the Research Triangle Park WEN chapter lead who shared that our site in McLeansville, N.C., had a record 360 notes posted in a common area of the building.
根据Justyna，当地事件得到了很好的收到。在许多办事处，双方都穿着紫色，团结，志愿者站在共同的领域，解释墙壁活动，并鼓励人们花点时间承认他们的同事。
“我很欣赏Labcorp认可国际妇女节in a visual way at our Durham, N.C., site, and that so many people took time out from their normal routine to be there,” said Justin an IT engineer.
温家宝还举办了与朱迪塞尔茨，拉布洛尔普的首席人力资源官员的壁炉店聊天。如果他们不能或太远，那么该事件就可以加入，如果他们不能或太远。
At the time, such gatherings were still permitted, but there was an awareness of the growing need for safe and sanitary interactions.
“We handed out hand sanitizer and made the event contact-free, but that didn’t diminish the personal value it brought to all of us,” said Joy, global talent program manager. “Judi’s advice that evening felt very relevant and raw. It was such a great way for our WEN members to get to know a new leader, and I think her words will stick with many of us for years to come. In fact, Judi talked about the hidden responsibilities that women have and how much impact they create. That feels even more relevant right now.”
虽然大流行在世界许多地方没有超过世界，但我们在亚洲的同事开始回归工作，额外的安全预防措施。其他地点的员工正在远程工作，因为他们的角色允许，其他地方在这段时间内已经在额外的安全措施上工作。
“We’ve seen one of thewomen we featured in our campaign being interviewed on CNBCleigha表示，分享Labcorp如何开发和扩展我们的测试能力。““其他人正在帮助我们与Biotech公司合作，为Covid-19开发疗法。其他人正在努力确保我们开始的其他工作，就像我们对肿瘤学的承诺一样，继续。有这么多的工作同样重要，而且他们都应该得到认可。今天，正如我们面临不确定性和新挑战的那样，像杂耍的儿童一样，杂耍的儿童呼叫，我希望所有这些女性都能意识到他们的弹性如何领导。“
