As we celebrated International Women’s Day in 2025, we explored how different generations can come together and learn from women’s experiences of work, for the benefit of all. 

Conversations around talent, culture and ways of working remain a priority for all organizations. With multiple generations currently in the workplace, balancing differing perspectives and needs can be challenging but essential in ensuring an organization is set up for future success. To explore this notion further, we invited leadership consultant and Gen Z expert, Heather Elkington, to join a panel, alongside colleagues from across the firm, to share her hopes for the next generation of leaders and the reality of having multiple generations working together in the workplace. 

The panelists share their insights on a broad range of subjects and the intersection of generations and gender in the workplace. Topics included intergenerational learning, curiosity and vulnerable leadership. Mentorship was also discussed as a key factor for developing future talent, while also offering a unique opportunity for leaders to engage in open dialogue and learn from more junior colleagues. 

Elsewhere across the firm, local offices celebrated International Women’s Day in a number of ways: in the US, Asia and MENA colleagues heard insights from external speakers; Singapore, London and Bratislava brought colleagues together to be creative at craft workshops; Madrid, Rome and Milan celebrated women in the arts; Manchester partnered with a local charity and ran a donation drive requesting in-demand items for women in poverty. Through our local and global efforts we sought to promote connection, learning and understanding across the generations.
