Women in Tech

With a proportion of women of about one third, RISC Software GmbH is already above the industry average. We aim to systematically build upon this strength with the help of our dedicated funding initiatives.

Our goal is to increase the proportion of women in the company while simultaneously motivating and preparing employees for leadership positions. The compatibility of work, family, education and leisure is very important to us. In addition, we promote team spirit through numerous health-promoting measures and leisure activities.

Support projects for women
quote
The visibility of women in IT has already been successfully established at RISC Software GmbH and is to be further increased in the proposed project. With the completion of the preliminary projects, we were able to increase the proportion of women from 20% to the current 31%. The goal is to increase this quota even further in the coming years.

The equality of women is a personal matter for me, for which I have been jointly responsible since the first FUTURISC funding project. The further development towards lived diversity is the only logical step and has always been in our DNA. As Head of Communications, I ensure that this diversity is carried inwards and outwards, because it creates outstanding solutions and an innovative working environment.

For me, diversity and a pioneering spirit are inextricably linked – only those who allow different perspectives can truly dare to do new things and shape innovation.

As a woman in a rather male-dominated professional environment, I experience how RISC Software GmbH is committed to diversity and equal opportunities in all areas. I myself hope to be a role model in order to inspire even more women to pursue a career in technology.
