Gender diversity in companies brings numerous benefits. It promotes a wider range of perspectives and experiences, leading to more innovative and creative solutions to problems. Different genders often approach challenges from distinct angles, enhancing the overall decision-making process.
For many technology companies, however, there is still a long way to go in order to achieve gender diversity and inclusion. Aura data shows that female accounts for less than 35% of the workforce at Oracle. Salesforce is slightly better at 40%. Furthermore, when individuals see themselves represented in leadership positions, they feel valued and are more likely to contribute their best work. However, there is an even lower percentage of women at the top level compared with the overall company for both Salesforce and Oracle, indicating room for improvement.
