Do you know what important day was established 45 years ago? In 1975, the UN General Assembly began celebrating March 8th as International Women’s Day. Since its start, many organizations and companies take this opportunity to recognize the triumphs and contributions of women, and we at Empatica are no different.
Last year, 43% of our team was made up of women; this year, we are proud to share that this value has increased to 49%! How does this compare to large tech companies? In the Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft (GAFAM) group, based on self-reported company figures, female coworkers make up between 29 and 42% of the total workforce. However, looking at actual tech jobs, women fill less than 25% of those roles in GAFAM (Amazon did not report a value) [1].
