June 23 is International Women in Engineering Day – a day to recognize the contributions and achievements of women in the engineering field and to focus attention on the career opportunities available to girls in this industry. STERIS supports this through a variety of ways, including our Employee Resource Group, Women in STEM. The group focuses on empowering and elevating women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) fields at STERIS to reach their potential. This year, we asked some women who are members of Women in STEM and hold roles in engineering at STERIS to share what motivated them to enter this field and the advice they have for girls who are interested in pursuing a career in engineering one day. Read what they shared below. #InternationalWomenInEngineeringDay #WomenEngineers #INWED2024 #WeAreSTERIS

Today, we celebrate International Women in Engineering Day, a day dedicated to honoring the incredible achievements of women in engineering and technology. This day serves as an inspiration, shining a light on the contributions of women engineers and encouraging the next generation of girls to pursue careers in these fields. However, it also highlights the ongoing challenges women face, including underrepresentation and discrimination, underscoring the urgent need for continued support. Women have made significant strides in engineering, contributing to groundbreaking projects and innovations that shape our world. Their accomplishments demonstrate not only their expertise but also their resilience in overcoming the barriers that exist in a traditionally male-dominated field. INWED is a moment to celebrate these successes and acknowledge the women who have paved the way for others. We can create an environment where all women engineers can thrive, innovate, and continue to make significant contributions to our world. Let’s celebrate today and commit to building a more inclusive and equitable future for women in engineering. #INWED #WomenInEngineering #Engineering #WomenInSTEM #GirlsInSTEM #DiversityInTech #EqualOpportunity #STEMEducation #Mentorship #InclusiveWorkplace #GenderEquality #EmpowerWomen #WomenInTech

Just a few days ago, we celebrated the 2024 International Women In Engineering Day, INWED. This year's celebration resonated deeply with me as I noticed a subtle yet concerning trend of regression against women, not just within engineering profession but across all fields. Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics have undeniably revolutionized our world for the better. I'm proud to be part of a community of women engineers who persist in making impactful contributions despite the gender barriers that try to hold us back. Coming from a family of engineers, problem-solving through science, data, and analysis is ingrained in our DNA, with no gender-based limitations. Decisions are made based on facts and not just the gender of who 'said' it. This has helped me thrive. Let's all take a pledge to reach out to our loved ones and acquaintances, advocating for gender-neutral decisions/career choices, particularly in Science & Engineering. It's crucial to empower and uplift 'girls in Science & Engineering,' ensuring they grasp that their potential knows no gender bounds. #WomenEngineers #STEM #INWED #Excellence #Career #Engineering

A shocking 24% of STEM employees are women, with engineering professionals ranking the lowest with 10% women engineers. This needs to change. STEM needs women. Why? STEM industries pioneer ground-breaking technologies every day which impact all of society, so the community needs to realistically reflect everyone. And women do make up half of society! Without these unique perspectives and ideas, it might not be possible to make the necessary progress in advancing the future. So what are you doing to attract and empower women in STEM? #WomeninSTEM #Engineering #STEMcommunity #Womenintech #Technology

Advocating Diversity and Inclusion in Engineering/Celebrating Women in Engineering/Collaborating with clients for Progress
While STEM careers are a powerhouse of opportunity, there's a gap we can't ignore, the underrepresentation of women in our sector. Economic equality and innovation thrive when everyone has a seat at the table, yet women remain vastly outnumbered in engineering. Diversity in these roles is crucial to prevent biases in the future workforce and technologies. Here's what's widening the gap: 📚 Gender Stereotypes: From a young age, girls' math abilities are often underrated due to persistent stereotypes, affecting their confidence and career choices. 🏢 Male-Dominated Cultures: With fewer women in STEM, many workplaces display inflexible cultures that fail to support or attract women and minorities. 👩🔬 Fewer Role Models: The scarcity of female figures in science and engineering in media and popular culture leaves girls with fewer sources of inspiration. ➕ Math Anxiety: A myth persists that girls are less adept at math, leading to unwarranted anxiety and harder grading practices that favour boys. In 2023 UCAS admissions data revealed that only 19% of applicants for engineering and technology degrees were women. We're working to bridge this gap, but we need your voice. Share your thoughts or tag a woman in STEM who inspires you. Let's champion the change-makers levelling the playing field. Fostering diversity isn't just a 'nice to have' It's essential for a balanced and far-reaching engineering landscape.
