According to a report by The World Bank, women make up less than a third of the world’s workforce in technology-related fields.
Women are undeniably underrepresented, especially in the tech industry. It is baffling when studies have proven that the world, tech or otherwise, is only wealthier, more efficient, and better overall with women in it. Did you know, on average, women-led tech companies perform three times better?
Diversity and inclusion in the workplace have far-reaching benefits. It not only fosters a more inclusive culture but also helps companies to be more innovative and productive. Diverse teams bring different perspectives, leading to a more comprehensive understanding of customer needs, resulting in better products and services. Despite the many benefits of diversity and inclusion, the reality is that it is still an uphill battle. The onus is on us to prioritize diversity and inclusion and drive real change in our organizations through action.
At Cigniti, we realize the value our women counterparts bring. As part of our ongoing efforts to drive holistic enablement for bridging the big divide, we are thrilled to launch herDIGITALstory (hDs) – a platform dedicated to supporting and empowering women in tech.
