🎤 Your Voice Matters Reimagining The Tech Industry Starts With You Following our 2023 series of events, we released our #BreakingBarriers Report which explored women's experiences of the tech sector, accessibility to job opportunities, the impact of career breaks and more. The report identified the urgent need for increased awareness, support and inclusivity to address the barriers women grapple with in tech and clearly indicated there is much more to be done... Forget tired solutions. We want to hear directly from you: what would empower and support you to step into the tech world today, whether you’re returning, trying to progress, or just starting? Please join us in this crucial conversation. We're asking for a few minutes of your time to complete our survey and provide us with the next stage of insight. Your insights will shape our digital report, revealing the unvarnished truth about what businesses need to do to create a diverse, equitable, and successful tech industry for everyone. Together, let's rewrite what women need and pave the way for a fairer future in tech. https://lnkd.in/eUuR58Jm #ReframeInsights #ReframeWomenInTech #BreakingBarriers #YourVoiceMatters

The truth is, tech is the future. And the world needs more women in tech. Are you in? We are not all going to be working in tech. But a lot of our work is going to be influenced by tech. We see examples of AI shaking multiple industries. 👩💻 Technology is one of the key factors that allows women to be visible and present, today and in the future. Tech is a tool for new opportunities – to overcome geographical or workplace challenges, create new businesses or transform daily lives. And we at Gal Talks Tech think it’s important for women to see other women working in tech or tech-related jobs. We are revisiting another interview from out database on our blog. As the world around us is constantly changing, we mark down Julia Paulsen’s words once again: “You cannot afford to stay still so start moving into the tech sphere now!” 🔗 Read the full interview: https://lnkd.in/gcc38hPD What is your ambition? Are you joining women in tech? #womenintech #tech #technology

Laying it bare, has diversity in tech truly moved at all in the last ten years? 🙄 I've been actively involved in the DE&I agenda for over 10 years, around the same time I've been in tech organisations. Reading report after report it's becoming more and more challenging to keep optimistic whilst on the journey to drive change. A huge thank you to the not for profit Tech Talent Charter who's released their 2024 report that is full of rich insight expanding across many intersectionality's. However, reading through it none of it will come as a surprise 🤷♀️ As the authors state they "share a warning that painstakingly-won D&I progress is at risk of being lost, and if we continue with the current trajectory it’s going to get worse. What we need is for business leaders to commit to sustained, intentional effort that shows they are serious about diversity and inclusion, not for the optics, but because they truly care about people and they know that D&I has a powerful impact on the productivity, competitiveness and resilience of their business." Here's just a page that shows yet again that women are leaving roles that aren't flexible and for those at the back FLEXIBLE WORKING IS NOT JUST HYBRID. Time for our allies to step up and those holding progress back to step aside #womenintech #dei #techtalent

[Book update] This is one of the top challenges most women working in tech face We have now collected 400+ responses from women in tech living in 60 countries for our book “How Women in Tech Succeed Worldwide”. We did a deep dive into the survey responses about the major challenge that those women faced.   One challenge came over and over: Being underestimated. As I told my co-author, Fionnuala O'Conor, expressions like “not being taken seriously” were so common that I lost count. Those women shared the toll on them to have to prove again and again their value and skills and still have to cope with condescending attitudes from those working with them: Peers, managers, and the leadership team.   We can continue to tell ourselves that the lack of women in tech is a pipeline issue and that if we do enough hackathons, bootcamps, and school science days we’ll fix it.   But that’s starting the house by the ceiling hoping that the roof tiles will hold the building.   We need to build the foundations of the organisations where that new talent can thrive. We’re not there yet.   And we’re all of us working in tech on the hook for the current situation. From colleagues and bosses to HR and executive teams.   It’s also on us to start repairing it.   My challenge to you, tech employee, this week is to reflect on the different ways you and your organisation are underestimating the potential of the women working with you.   [PLEA] If you’re a woman in tech and you haven’t completed our survey, this is your last chance to get your experiences included. We already have 400 responses from women in tech from 60 countries. Note that our definition of tech is broad - women working in any function (R&D, HR, services, finance) in the tech sector (software, hardware…) or in tech-related functions (e.g. IT, cybersecurity…) in other sectors. We’re also very interested in women in roles such as CXO, board member, and investor in tech startups and companies. https://lnkd.in/g7AVBaWd Thanks for your help!   #WomenInTech #WomenInBusiness #CareerAdvice #CareerCoaching #WomenLeaders #Patriarchy #Mentoring #LifeCoaching #Sponsoring #BrokenRung

Women in Tech, let´s craft a future where possibilities are limitless 🦾👩 When considering female empowerment, I've long held the belief that my actions speak louder than my words. Nevertheless, today, on International Women's Day, I wish to take the chance to celebrate the numerous women I work alongside in the tech industry, whose achievements I am fortunate enough to witness firsthand. Women from diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise are currently making strides in the tech world, challenging stereotypes along the way. I, too, never imagined I would end up in IT consulting after starting my journey in a completely different field. Nevertheless, the tech world excites me and I am happy that I myself found my way into tech. Because tech embodies innovation. Every day, we uncover new potentials in our clients' digitalization efforts and observe how technical solutions streamline and enhance work routines.   We are directly experiencing how our work not only simplifies and elevates everyday workflows but also paves the way for processes that were once deemed impossible. This isn't just about breaking barriers; it's about crafting a future where possibilities are limitless, and every woman's potential is celebrated and unleashed. So today, let's celebrate the achievements of women in tech, and pave the way for generations to come. #WomenInTech #InternationalWomensDay #SopraSteria Just to name a few, shout out to: Nora, Sabrina, Cynthia, Alana, Sarah, Eva, Michèle and Tami!
