"Society and workplace must be responsible to create an unbiased ecosystem for employees"
Sudha KV, Vice President, Dell Technologies India
“STEM, or technology at large is an extremely fun and inclusive industry. As the industry continues to take center stage across the world, it is becoming one of the most attractive areas for youngsters today.
A large number of women enter the technology workforce, and perform exceptionally well. However, they quit at the mid-level, before making it to the top. Therefore, while there is a significant representation of women in technology, the ladder to leadership levels dwindles. This leads to the leaky bucket phenomenon where very capable women professionals - after reaching a certain point in their career, drop out due to many obstacles – family responsibilities, workplace biases etc.
It is incumbent upon society and the workplace to create an unbiased ecosystem for all to persevere and excel, so that we do not lose this excellent talent pool midway.
At Dell Technologies, our endeavor is to create a safe, diverse and growth-driven landscape for our employees. This means going beyond the realms of just hiring people from different genders and rather, focusing on creating an inclusive, safe and comfortable workspace for men and women alike. Companies must aim to introduce various sensitization programs, and focus on how their female workforce can make the most of training, and upskill consistently.”
