As an advocate for gender equality and more opportunities for women in tech, I’m encouraged that 70% of respondents surveyed by BCG and Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority across Southeast Asia say their companies have initiatives to support women, a whopping 20-point leap since the last survey in 2020. However, only 34 to 40% of tech roles in the region are held by women, just on par with global averages, and women account for only 23% of senior leaders in the top 50 tech companies, with just 8% in technical leadership roles. More can be done. As leaders, we can help break down barriers and create a more diverse and inclusive tech industry. Increasing the representation of women in tech is not just a moral imperative; it also drives innovation and growth in the economy. By modelling inclusive practices and engaging in active mentorship and sponsorship, we can build a brighter, stronger, and more innovative future that benefits everyone.

The #hybrid market is a transformative opportunity, and HP is leading the way, powered by #AI. Our second annual HP Work Relationship Index surveyed 15,600 respondents across 12 countries, including #Indonesia, revealing that only 28% of knowledge workers have a healthy relationship with work — a modest one-point improvement from last year.

The report, which surveyed more than 150 business leaders and 350 full-time working professionals, investigates sustainability as a business imperative, the current state of sustainability efforts in organisations, and the critical role of training and certifications.
