Who Runs the World? Girls! – Celebrating International Women’s Day

For the four billion women worldwide: it’s been a challenging year. The ripple of Roe’s reversal beyond the U.S.; climate change and violence; the consequences of a global pandemic.  

And yet, we women persist.

We may not always have a seat at the table, but our strength and resilience powers the fight for our right to our bodies and our lives. 

This International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating women everywhere – the four billion of us who run the world, who run our worlds. That’s why we reached out to PSIers across our global network to come together, celebrate, and sing.

Check out the video below.

The Future of Work

With overarching commitments to flexibility in our work, and greater wellbeing for our employees, we want to ensure PSI is positioned for success with a global and holistic view of talent. Under our new “work from (almost) anywhere,” or “WFAA” philosophy, we are making the necessary investments to be an employer of record in more than half of U.S. states, and consider the U.S. as one single labor market for salary purposes. Globally, we recognize the need to compete for talent everywhere; we maintain a talent center in Nairobi and a mini-hub in Abidjan. PSI also already works with our Dutch-based European partner, PSI Europe, and we’re creating a virtual talent center in the UK.
