Embed, a leading worldwide supplier of point-of-sale and revenue management systems, is inspiring female inclusivity in the tech sector for International Women’s Day 2024.
Renee Welsh, Solutions Group CEO says: “At Embed, we believe in the value of diversity in our talent pool. We have a shared commitment to gender parity at all levels of the organisation because we believe in the boundless intellectual, leadership, cultural, and commercial strength that results from harnessing and realising the talent capital of gender and cultural equality.
“We take great pride in not only being gender-equal but putting an end to gender inequality in our tech sector.”
A Forbes study indicates that the IT industry is expanding steadily. Due to the growth of artificial intelligence (AI) in fields like data analytics and robotics, new tech-based professions are continuously created. Women’s distinct experiences and viewpoints are crucial for fostering innovation and growth within businesses.
In addition, research has found that female CTOs are predicted to register patents at a rate that is 1.826 times higher than that of their male colleagues. This implies that women are leading the way in innovation across all industries.
Championing the achievements of women
“In Embed’s spirit of innovation and inclusivity, we champion the achievements of women in tech – one of the most heavily male-dominated industries out there,” adds Welsh. “What an amazing experience it is to see how women are flourishing in the tech sector. In our organisation alone, the chief executive leadership team is made up of 50% women – and we are proud that Embed is setting an example of what other companies, large and small, aspire to achieve.
“This is how we inspire inclusion in the company – by giving equal opportunities to women to rise through the ranks and make a lasting difference for our customers, their guests, and the industry as a whole.”
Sara Paz, CMO at Embed, says: “It shouldn’t be surprising that Embed is 100% aligned with the United Nations 2024 International Women’s Day platform theme: ‘Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress.’ At Embed, we’re already there! At Embed you should ‘Expect HER in Tech!
“A 2023 McKinsey study shows that companies with significant female representation at the top earn up to 50% higher profits and stock performance! Women@Embed are never spectators – they’re an equal part of leading the high-performing teams transforming the industry of fun.”
