It's almost International Women's Day (IWD), a day for us to reflect on how far women have come and what the future holds for women.
Aside from our 16-part series featuring the thoughts of various leaders in the industry on IWD, we've put together a special, power-packed playlist to spread the love and appreciation to all your employees for their contributions to the growth of the organisation.
Have fun playing these 10 songs in the office, get your employees refreshed and ready to take on the world.
