It is International Women's Day... a day indeed to reflect on and recognise the progress we are making on equality, diversity and inclusion. A thoughtful quote from Sheryl Sandberg below ... there will be a day when we will not have to say female leaders, rather it will be exceptional leaders. #IWB #InternationalWomensDay #womenintech #diversityintech #leadership #OneSC

Have you ever been inspired by stories that challenge the status quo? I recently watched an inspiring video hosted by Purpose Jobs, "Inspiring the Next Generation of Women in Tech." It was so enlightening to hear from Alison Accavitti Julia Winter Chevonne James and Elizabeth Heaton as they shared their unique journeys into the tech world. But amidst the inspiration, the statistics are still quite alarming according to Exploding Topics: ⭐ As of 2023, women only hold 26.7% of tech jobs ⭐ Women currently hold only 26.7% of tech-related jobs. ⭐ Tech firms with more than 10,000 employees report women's representation at 26.2%. ⭐ The percentage of women in all tech-related careers has actually decreased over the last 2 years. ⭐ Women in software engineering report a lack of equal pay, making 0.93 cents for every dollar that men in the field make. Despite these challenges, hearing these women's stories reminded me of the importance of representation and support in tech. Let's keep pushing for change and supporting each other in this journey! #womenintech #diversityintech #techleadership #genderequality #womenempowerment #blackwomensequalpayday,#techcommunity #inclusionmatters #breakthebias #techcareers #representationmatters #equalpay #womenwhocode #techinspiration #womeninstem #futureoftech

Celebrating Women in Tech! This International Women's Day, we want to honour the achievements of women in the tech industry. We recognise and appreciate the invaluable contributions of women in shaping the future of technology. Why not listen to our dedicated podcast episode from last year, with Amanda Obidike and Baiba Žiga, discussing diversity and women in tech: ➡ What are the benefits of having more women working in leadership positions within the technology industry? ➡ How do flexible work policies, such as remote work and flexible schedules, impact gender diversity in the tech industry, and what are some strategies for ensuring that all employees have access to these options? ➡ How can companies measure and track progress toward building a more inclusive company culture, and what metrics should be used to evaluate success? https://lnkd.in/eqqdpqkE Empowering Voices, Celebrating Achievements. Join us in honouring Women in Tech this International Women's Day. We'd love to hear your thoughts! #WomenInTech #TechLeadership #IWD2024

Today, on #InternationalWomensDay, I find myself reflecting on the progress made - and the long road ahead - for women in tech. We have come a long way, yet women constitute a mere 26% of IT workers. These figures are not because of a lack of interest, aptitude or ambition, but due to persisting stereotypes and bias. As industry leaders, it’s essential that we continue promoting inclusivity, mentoring our teams and championing each other's successes. A diverse and inclusive workforce makes us all stronger. The impact of more women in tech inspires greater innovation that will transcend the industry and make a substantial difference to our world. Let's harness that power! #WomenInTech https://lnkd.in/ebPRptvv #iwd2024 #genderequality

For #IWD2024 Webnames CEO Cybele Negris, ICD.D reflects on how #InspireInclusion isn't merely a slogan, rather it should be used as a guiding principle for bringing women back into tech with the flexibility, access to opportunities and support that they need to innovate, excel and lead. #womenintech #womeninstem https://lnkd.in/gtRkEXAj

Great article by Cybele Negris, ICD.D on the need to double down on efforts to attract and retain women in the tech sector. Two comments that caught my attention: “Study after study underscores the need for greater efforts to support women in technology careers, not merely so their careers can advance, but so they don’t leave the field altogether taking their valuable experience with them. The gender brain drain in technology is persistent and detrimental with more than a third (36.2%) of women leaving not planning on re-entering the tech world, the most cited reasons being lack of advancement opportunities, dissatisfaction with their career development, gender bias, challenges managing caring commitments, and unsupportive work environments.” And: “Additionally we must expand the number of women in senior leadership roles with momentum because it positively impacts female employee engagement and retention, improves workplace culture and increases the likelihood of equal pay in organizations.”
