Happy International Women’s Day! ❤️ Equal treatment of women and men is just the right thing to do, and it’s also good for business. It's no secret that our tech industry could do better on the diversity front, gender equity included. Sure, Australia's doing slightly better than the worldwide average with women in the workforce, but there's still a long road ahead, especially in tech. According to recent reports, women make up just 29% of the tech workforce and it's even tougher at the top – they represent only 18% of CEOs and 22% of board members in tech companies. But here's the good news – we're so proud to already be making strides in the right direction. Among our amazing team, 39% are women and 61% are men. And look at our leadership team – 45% women, 55% men. And of course, we celebrated this International Women’s Day in our office with donuts for everyone🍩🍩 We’re honoured to invite some clients today to an UN International Women’s Day Lunch celebration where we’ve heard from leaders and changemakers who are working to re-shape the system and remove the barriers so all women and girls can unlock their potential and drive better outcomes for us all. Here are some quotes from the event that really stuck with us: ❤️ "Never waste a bad mood" - good advice to transform your frustrations into action ❤️ "Set big goals" - long term ones - and then go boldly towards them. Ask for what you want and back your own capabilities. ❤️ "Break the rules" - a nudge to not be constrained by perceived rules - by stepping up into bigger roles you get to set the rules! Today on #internationalwomensday - and the other 364 days of every year - we feel proud of the progress we've made with bdna’s strong female leaders, team members, and our remarkable female clients. Together, we are working towards a more inclusive and equitable tech industry and society. 🤗 #iwd2024 #empoweringwomen #investinwomen #techwomen

🤝 Happy International Women's Day to ALL amazing women in my network! This morning, we came together at the #Microsoft office in The Netherlands to celebrate International Women's Day 2024, with some of the most brave, smart and caring people within our investor, partner and customer’s ecosystem. We are so grateful for your participation in this year’s event ‘Investing in Women: accelerate progress’!   After the opening reflections of our CEO, Anke den Ouden, recognizing the crucial role that women play in driving innovation, economic growth and social change, we were delighted and inspired by the incredible speaker and innovation leader Enaam Ahmed Ali about the importance of leading organizations, teams and society, towards shifting the conversations (and actions) from inclusion to belonging, from power to responsibility and from one angle view to a full narrative.   We closed off with an insightful conversation with a panel of leaders from our tech industry - Andy Lurling, Lisa Dillon, Mirjam van Olst and Naomi Smit - who shared their personal stories and experiences on various topics that resonates with me as a #womenintech. Herewith a few take aways: 🔝 The impact of role models in early days of your being: ‘You cannot be, what you cannot see”. 🔝 The responsibility organizations should take to create a psychological safety environment for all employees to be able to be their authentic selves: ‘Come as you are, because others are taken”. 🔝 The importance of seeing and acknowledging people beyond gender, ethnical background, age, disabilities: “Lead with optimism and empathy”. 🔝 The courage it takes to speak out, to ask for help, to take a chance, to step out of your comfort zone, breaking barriers and building bridges. “Having self confidence is not a given, but it can be practiced. You can achieve anything once you believe in it.” As a proud member of the @Women at Microsoft ERG organization’, a special thanks to Angela Bos, Jolien Engberts, Anna van den Breemer- Kleene, Evelien Vredeveld and all Women at Microsoft ERG for your efforts in organizing this amazing event! #iwd2024womenleadingtheway #mspartners #diversityinclusion #equity
