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.

The visibility of women in IT is already well established at RISC Software GmbH and is set to be further increased through the proposed initiative. Upon completion of the preliminary projects, we were able to raise the proportion of women from 20% to the current 31%. The goal is to continue increasing this share in the coming years.

Project Manager RISCversity and Human Relations Manager

Gender equality is a personal concern of mine, which I have been helping to advance since the very first funded project, FUTURISC. Evolving this commitment into lived diversity is the only logical step and has always been part of our DNA. As Head of Communications, I ensure that this diversity is communicated both internally and externally, as it fosters outstanding solutions and an innovative working environment.

Cornelia Staub

Marketing and Communications Manager

For me, diversity and pioneering spirit are inseparable — only by embracing different perspectives can we truly dare to explore new paths and drive innovation.

Stefanie Kritzinger-Griebler

Head of Unit Logistics Informatics

As a woman in a traditionally male-dominated field, I experience how RISC Software GmbH actively promotes diversity and equal opportunities across all areas. I personally hope to serve as a role model and inspire more women to pursue a career in technology.

The aim was, on the one hand, to further increase the proportion of women within the company and, on the other, to recruit employees as project managers. Strengthening RISC Software GmbH as an attractive employer for women in technology was also a key focus.

FUTURISC

The clear objective was to increase the proportion of women at RISC Software GmbH. During the project period, the number of female employees in software development increased from two to seven. A strong focus was placed on offering internship positions.
