Gender equality among Womentor companies remains high - despite COVID

Ambition and clear objectives bring results
One of several initiatives to address the gender imbalance in the industry is IT&Telecom companies change and leadership program Womentor, where the goal for companies participating in the program is to reach gender parity by 2025 (note: where no gender is less than 40%).

- We see that the companies that have the will and ambition to work in a structured way with goal management and follow-up of gender equality and inclusion are also the companies that succeed in implementing a concrete change and movement, says Ramm-Ericson.
