Why Women’s History Month is Extra Special
We have been celebrating National Women’s History Month all month, really, we celebrate women year-round. Especially women in the workplace. March gives us the opportunity to spend extra time reflecting and celebrating. We are a woman-owned business and keeping women in the workforce is in our roots. We started what is now Spot On Talent to advocate for women in the workforce. By matching female professionals with the right opportunity to leverage their strengths, women and their employers see a positive return. Layered with the economic importance of women in the workplace, March is the month to high five all the beautiful and talented women past and present!

Women’s history month is not the only time to celebrate women in the workforce. Their importance runs throughout the year so here are some fun facts to educate yourself about the history and importance of working women.
- More than a million women joined the workforce between 1914 and 1918, helping to fill the gap left by a generation of military men.
- One recent study estimates that increasing the female participation rate to that of men would raise our gross domestic product by 5 percent. Our workplaces and families, as well as women themselves, would benefit from continued progress.
