Women are largely underrepresented …
… in our IT industry. Unfortunately, female software developers and consultants are often a rarity.
The proportion of women studying for their first degree in IT is just 28.9 percent, and according to bitkom, the number of female applicants for IT positions is also low at 15 percent.
Why did it come to this? Experts blame this on outdated stereotypes and role models. IT has long been dominated by men. And this despite the fact that programming was a typical female profession in the first half of the 20th century.
Even here, the proportion of women is still lower than we would like. For this reason, we are particularly committed to strengthening the female gender. We want to do our part and are actively working to further equalize the ratio.
Through the “Ausbildungsbotschafter” initiative in collaboration with the IHK Nord Westfalen, we have set ourselves the goal of getting schoolgirls and schoolboys interested in IT professions and advocate for equality in IT. Even talented female students lose their interest in IT or general technical subjects if they are not specifically encouraged in them.
The confrontation with clichés that pigeonhole them as “unfeminine” also deters those who are interested. We want to counteract this and motivate and encourage female students to complete training in the field of IT.
One reason why the proportion of women is so low is the compatibility of family and career. Don’t get us wrong: Women and men are equally responsible for children, household chores and care. Nevertheless, in many cases women spend much more time on this every day than men.
To strengthen equality in IT, we offer a range of goodies that make it easier to combine family and career. These include flexible working hours and flexible work locations (e.g. home office). Both mothers and fathers have already benefited from this. We are also definitely open to individual arrangements such as childcare subsidies.
One of the most important steps toward equality in IT is equal pay. According to a study, women in the EU still earn on average 16 percent less than men for an hour’s work. That’s already somewhat less than it was a few years ago, but nonetheless this difference is unacceptable to us.
We are fighting the gender pay gap. With us, work performance is rewarded – irrespective of gender.
