The bell is about to ring for International Women's Day 2026. This year's global theme #GiveToGain (Giving is warmth, gaining is strength) is awakening a brand-new energy—the "giving" here goes far beyond financial support; it is the proactive sharing of knowledge, experience, time, health, resources, and opportunities.

At ISS, we firmly believe: every act of participation is a two-way value creation. (When women thrive, we all rise). For us, International Women's Day is not just a holiday, but a crucial opportunity to build cultural consensus.

This March, we have meticulously planned a series of 4 events, spanning from online to offline, and from a global perspective to inner exploration. Let's experience and reflect together 👇

📸 March 2 | Launch of the "GiveToGain" Theme Campaign

We invite all employees to voluntarily participate in a photo collection activity, responding to the call of International Women's Day by striking the "GiveToGain" pose (hands clasped together in front of the chest, or one hand on the heart with the other reaching out as if giving a gift). Meanwhile, when submitting your photos, please attach a "brief promise" to yourself or others.

Promise Inspiration:

  • To oneself: "I am willing to give myself a little more of a smile every day."
  • To others: "I am willing to give others more praise and recognition."

—— We hope the camera captures the posture of giving, making the promise the starting point for change.

🌏 March 4 | ISS Global Online Sharing Session

Through a Teams meeting invitation, we will gather to share diverse international perspectives and practical methods for workplace empowerment, unlocking new ideas for workplace growth and team management rooted in "benefiting others to benefit oneself". Outstanding female leaders will also be invited to share their insights on organizational development and team management.

—— We hope to resonate with the world, allowing ideas to cross borders.

🔮 March 6 | "AI Inner Strength, Tenderly Seeing Each Other" Offline Workshop

Guided by AI, we will experience the wonderful fusion of technology and psychology, molding our own unique "inner doll" by hand, discovering ourselves in fun, and allowing ourselves to be tenderly seen by one another through sharing.

—— We hope that when technology meets the soul, a gentle journey of introspection will begin.

🧠 March 6 | "Adapting to Change, Enhancing Mental Resilience" Online Open Class

We have invited Ms. Ma, a CIIC EAP expert and US-certified psychotherapist, to deliver the "Adapting to Change, Enhancing Mental Resilience" online open class for us. In this session, we will not only master tools for mental resilience but also learn how to analyze emotional curves.

—— We hope to cultivate resilience amidst change, making our inner selves the most stable anchor.

💜 Final Thoughts

The 2026 #GiveToGain reminds us: Giving is not a subtraction, it's intentional multiplication. When we generously share our time, knowledge, resources, and opportunities, we are not just supporting women's growth; we are building a more interconnected and supportive world.

This March, participating in any of these events will make you a part of this multiplier effect. We look forward to meeting you and witnessing together: Give to Gain.
