Exploring Opportunities in SAP: Why Women Think Twice My post today is very close and very, very important to me. Having been in the SAP industry for nearly 20 years, I’ve seen how both challenges and opportunities have evolved for women. Despite the strides we’ve made, many women still hesitate to enter this field. Here’s why, and why it’s time to change that: Perception of Complexity – SAP can seem too technical at first glance, but after two decades, I’ve seen that many roles focus on business strategy and innovation, areas where diverse perspectives, like those women bring, are critical. Lack of Industry Experience – Women often feel they don’t have enough domain expertise, but I’ve learned that SAP thrives on diversity—not just in gender but in experiences. Those coming from different industries bring fresh ideas that drive real change. Work-Life Balance – Women often worry about balancing a demanding career with personal life. However, SAP’s evolving flexibility in work arrangements is making it easier to maintain balance, allowing for diverse teams that reflect the world we live in. Fear of Failure – I’ve faced this fear too, especially in a field as fast-paced as SAP. But I’ve seen how diversity in teams strengthens problem-solving, turning challenges into opportunities for innovation and growth. Breaking Barriers: SAP is more than just a career—it’s a place where diversity thrives and drives transformation. Women bring unique insights that are critical to business success. If you’re thinking twice, take that leap—because the future of SAP is diverse, and it’s time for women to lead. 🌟 #WomenInTech #SAPCareers #DiversityInTech #WomenInSAP #BreakingBarriers #InclusionMatters #SAPJourney

As per research, globally, 28% of all SAP consultants are women, while 72% are men. This number has changed in the last 2 years, and we have seen women thrive on challenges, evolve, and helped accelerate transformation. They have broken boundaries, challenged traditional beliefs, and redefined what’s possible. Coreglobal IT is looking to collaborate with learning and development professionals to train and support women consultants. SAP has so many initiatives like the 'bridge the digital skills' gap which can create a pipeline of trained professionals.

SAP had a panel discussion on Empowering Innovation and Inspiring Innovation as part of the Global Kickoff for #internationalwomensday2024 We all need allies - I'm fortunate to have many men and women who propel me forward constantly Determination, drive and courage - keys to success coupled with empathy and equality. Thank you Supriya Jha for keeping it real with the constant juggling and balancing acts we do everyday to meet and exceed daily expectations and goals. Mentorship is an extremely important element - to identify career drivers and constantly expanding our network to include alliances As if listening to these wonderful women wasn’t sufficient, SAP is creating role models - SAP has 35.7% upwards of women in our workforce - SAP has almost 22% in executive ranks - SAP has returnship program tracking at 66% which is the most impressive KPI for me. As a mom, several times I've debated stepping out but this company is striving to provide the flexibility to lean in and lean on.   Kudos to SAP - every one of us has a part to play and together we can get where we want to go! 🎉 #thebestrunsap #bestcompanytoworkfor #womeninbusiness #womenempoweringwomen

Here is your #MondayInspiration. SAP just released its 2023 D&I report with progress updates on how the company is nurturing D&I in every part of the organization and across the industry. Students who have taken a social entrepreneurship and sustainable development course with me know that I use these corporate reports to analyze and discuss social impact goals, programs, and metrics in class. They also learn about the role of technology in driving positive change in our society. SAP's report is a wonderful example of #tech4good. The report includes numerous examples of how SAP collaborated with customers and partners to apply an inclusive lens in product development.

This report not only presents the progress we've accomplished in the past year, but also showcases the impact of a comprehensive D&I strategy that spans across our #workforcediversity, #workplaceinclusion, and marketplace #leadership on the success of SAP and our ecosystem. Excitingly, it provides fresh insights drawn from our first-ever globally conducted and anonymous self-identification diversity survey, and includes data related to external hiring. This intersectional data helps in firing up meaningful conversations and initiatives to foster further #inclusivity at SAP. A huge shoutout to Supriya Jha and her fantastic team, along with the Executive Sponsors and allies at SAP.

Please take a moment to delve into the report to understand the strides we've made within the last year. I believe that the steps we've taken to maintain diversity and inclusion are critical in laying the foundation for a successful and respectful work environment.
