For years now, when it comes to representation of women in the leadership roles we’ve been dealing with the elephant in the room.
Even though women are almost half of the workforce, they’re not getting enough chances in the tech world. Sure, we’re making some progress, but tech companies really need to step up their game when it comes to including more women and giving them leadership roles. It’s time to walk the talk and make sure everyone gets a fair shot.
During International Women’s Month 2024, we had a revelation. Well, having diverse voices in the room does make a difference—but only if those voices are heard and valued. With interviewing women in top leadership roles, we noticed something interesting. When women were fully engaged in discussions, boards made better decisions. They take more time to understand different viewpoints, leading to more unified choices.
While every industry faces its unique challenges, the issue of women’s diversity at the board level as well as the executive level is a universal concern across all sectors. At IMPAAKT, we launched the edition “10 Women-in-tech Accelerating Progress in 2024” to have conversations with women from various fields, from the Space tech industry to HRTech, and it’s clear that despite technological advancements, we’re still facing barriers to achieving true representation and diversity.
In this edition, you’ll discover industry leaders boldly championing diversity and representation.
