International Women's Day - Better Balance, Better World

The Power of Everyone

Women at Caterpillar

Our success depends on having the top talent, and gender balance in the workplace is an important way we will build the best team possible. The increased complexity of our business challenges demands that we have the right talent in the right place at the right time. Research even shows that companies that achieve gender balance, especially at leadership levels, yield more positive results. This issue matters to both men and women and is essential to the fulfillment of our company’s values on a global scale. When women play a vital role at Caterpillar, the whole company wins.   

International Women’s Day - #BalanceforBetter

At Caterpillar, we recognize what it means to celebrate the people who do what it takes to move our world forward. We are honored to participate in the International Women’s Day #BalanceforBetter campaign this year alongside many other companies worldwide – celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. Every day, all around the world, our customers have a job to do. You lead, build, plant, clear, dig, and a million other things. No matter how big or how small the project, you are making the world a better place. And the future is exciting!

With this year’s #BalanceforBetter campaign, we ask you to seek out balance – notice its absence and celebrate its presence. Not only would we love to see your selfies with the Caterpillar pledge card, we also greatly value the impact you have on your industry. 

Are you ready to pledge with us? 

Watch for other inspiring stories and pledges throughout 2019 from Caterpillar employees, dealers and customers. 

We can build a gender-balanced world together. Let’s do the work.

WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP

Women in Leadership is our intentional, focused step on a continuous journey towards impacting gender balance. We are encouraging global changes in staff and executive talent, helping our female employees — and Caterpillar — be competitively positioned for the future. There are three main areas of focus in order to drive this crucial change:

Sponsorship
We are vocal in our support of women inspiring great ideas and innovation. That means we properly recognize and celebrate women who are getting results.

Pipeline
We ensure women are given fair access to career development and leadership opportunities, and encourage more women to join our company’s work. 

Culture
We actively shape policies and procedures to better support and inspire women to start or continue their employment with us. Our Women’s Initiative Network is just one of many groups focused on this effort.
