“At KnowBe4, we strive to be a leader in diversity, equity, and inclusion, which is why we can say our team is over 40% women, while the industry average is only 20%! As Chief Human Resources Officer at KnowBe4, it is my personal mission to continue to create an environment that encourages women to pursue leadership roles in their careers. We empower our women by providing professional development tools, benefits that allow employees to balance their work and personal lives, and an employee resource group dedicated to our female “Knowsters” in the technology space. We are proud to support #GirlsClub and their mission is to give women the confidence and skills they need to succeed in a sales leadership career. We will continue to mentor and foster female talent inside and outside of KnowBe4 to create a brighter future for women, KnowBe4, and our community.”

“In a male-dominated industry, like tech, where innovation and iteration are currency, the value of DE&I is explicit. And the best thing an organization can do to drive DE&I — and keep competitive — is embrace empathy. Once leaders prioritize listening, and seek a deeper understanding from people of different backgrounds, they will understand how to design an organization that supports diverse individuals. Feedback and people-first: that’s how we operate at Iterable. Flexible work modes, geoneutral pay, flexible PTO, paid bereavement, adoption and fertility assistance and mentorship program; we design programs, perks and processes that are built by women, for women. Only when a workplace is designed to support a diverse workforce will it attract one. And, as we know, a more equitable future — one of equal opportunity for people of every race, color, sexual orientation, gender and ability — is a more profitable one.”

“At Acquire, we have a deep passion for creating equality for women and supporting women in the workforce.

If you look at the makeup of our own leadership team – founders and executives – you’ll find a group of people who came from unique and challenging circumstances and were fortunate enough to have the door opened for us. We believe it is our responsibility then to hold the door open for others – especially women – who would not otherwise be given the same opportunities. As we have held that door open, we have seen our company and our business flourish, thrive, and succeed. It is our obligation, but more importantly our pleasure, to be a force for equalizing the playing field for women in SaaS.”

95% of voters said that Outreach offers great paid maternity leave benefits and support for working mothers.

“I’m so excited to be a part of a company that walks the talk and intentionally leads the way for women in sales. Our RISE Women’s Leadership Development Program for female sales leaders has nine focal areas and spans topics like owning your career aspirations, building your brand, and elevating thought leadership. We also focus on developing others and giving back to the community by mentoring women early in their sales careers. The content and concepts are one thing, but it is the demonstrated belief and investment in a growing leader that makes a program successful. We are testing the hypothesis that truly inclusive organizations do not ask leaders to continue to interview for the job that they already have. Or ask them to take on traits that are alien to them. We want to invest in our talent and give them wild permission to be their best selves here.”

95% of voters said that Lever is leading the charge on their diversity and inclusion efforts.

“Lever has previously been recognized before for being #13 on Fortune’s list of best companies to work for for women, and I couldn’t wait to tell employers around the world that you can succeed as a business and be an inclusive workplace (in fact that is exactly how you will succeed!). I couldn’t wait to tell women that you shouldn’t lose hope, there are great companies out there where you do belong, where you can thrive. And I believe Lever is absolutely one of those companies. We are proud to say that we have a 50:50 gender ratio as a company, and that more than half of our leaders are women. Every single team at Lever – yes, even our Engineering and Product team – is at least 40% female. In fact, 42% of our coding engineers are women. Creating a diverse and inclusive workplace is very much something you need to design. D&I has been part of Lever’s DNA since the very beginning, and as we’ve grown, how exactly we go about it has definitely evolved, but what hasn’t changed is our commitment to making sure that people from all walks of life can succeed here. We are most certainly not perfect; I think we still have a lot of room to improve!”
