The Female Quotient

The Female Quotient, also known as the “FQ,” states that it is a “women-owned business working with companies and conscious leaders to curate experiences, thought leadership, and solutions designed to achieve gender equality in the workplace and beyond.” The FQ’s platform hosts online events, advisory services, research projects, and more aimed at closing the gender gap.

On International Women’s Day, the FQ hosted an online event “In Celebration of International Women’s Day.” The brand held a range of panel-based discussions for hours throughout the day. Female leaders were given a platform to not only share their experiences and advice, but actively answer questions and communicate with other participants.

Kimberly Phan, the Senior Director of Measurement and Analytics at Whalar, gave incredible advice on how to decipher whether or not your company authentically supports diversity. An advocate for the abolition of stereotypes, Phan was joined by Maggie Zhang, the Senior VP of Measurement Strategy & Operations at NBCUniversal. Zhang has been the source of outrage for her success and ability to pass men, both inside and outside of the workplace, and encourages women to strive beyond this and make this success less taboo.

Natasha Pearlman, the Executive Editor for Glamour, advises that women need more than a better “work-life balance” to get to this point—women need to be put at the center of the work environment. The 9 to 5 schedule has remained somewhat the same since its inception—even though it was initially built for men with stay-at-home wives. Pearlman advocates for healing in this environment. We all have needs, she points out, and if we do not take care of them, they will become someone else’s problem.

The event had incredible speakers and worthwhile advice for listeners. For a company whose whole model is about advocating for women, they did an incredible job making International Women’s Day extra special.
