Perkbox releases its ‘20 Female Forces of 2020’ list to celebrate International Women’s Day

Today, Perkbox, Europe’s fastest growing employee experience platform, is releasing its list of “20 Female Forces of 2020” to celebrate International Women’s Day this Sunday. The list recognises women across a wide variety of industries including Fintech, Business and Hospitality from businesses including Starling, Wasabi and Caffe Nero.

These women all belong to the Perkbox Community, meaning they are all customers selected from one of the three markets Perkbox currently operates in – The UK, France and Australia. They have been chosen for the impact they have had on their workplaces, and for how they are inspiring the next generation of leaders to do the same.

There’s something we can all take from their insight and apply to our own lives – no matter your gender, industry or chosen career.
