We’re committed to creating a workplace—and world—that empowers and supports women to achieve their full potential. Providing equal opportunities for growth and development, fostering an inclusive environment where all voices are heard, and advocating for policies that promote gender equality and address systemic barriers. This International Women’s Day, we’re proud to continue our tradition of joining millions of people around the world in recognizing the achievements and contributions of women, both past and present. We’re joining the UN’s theme, DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality, and asked members of our global Employee Resource Groups to share their paths to careers in tech and how you can break into tech too.
