#LifeAtHERE Spotlight: WITness 2021

Spotlight on our Women's Initiative Network (WIN) ERG as well as a recent event they organized in the Americas region to empower and share knowledge on wide range of topics.


What is the Women's Initiative Network?

The Women's Initiative Network (also referred as WIN) is HERE's women-led Employee Resource Group (ERG) aimed at promoting gender equality in the workplace and supporting the development of our female and non-binary employees.

The role of WIN is to inspire every woman at HERE to think boldly about their career and to actively pursue their professional goals in the technology industry, as well as educating everyone to work toward an inclusive environment where we all have an equal opportunity to succeed.

WIN has chapters around the globe and welcome everyone to get involved.

WITness 2021

Last month, the WIN chapters from our Americas region hosted WITness (Women In Technology), an internal event focused on bringing a platform to the voice of women at HERE.

This event consisted of a series of TED-Talk-style virtual presentations, led by women, but open to all. And with 36 speakers and over 27 sessions across 3 days, the event was a resounding success.

Topics ranged from:

  • Career: Marketing, recruiting, data analytics, program management, how to amplify our customer's voice, sales, career progression
  • Personal journeys: The power of allyship, interior design, how to start an ERG, changing roles during a maternity leave, what being a woman in tech means, the power of giving back, or even how participating in Iron-man triathlons has led to a more successful career
  • Mental health / family: How to build stronger support systems, how to better handle change and keeping your head above water, autism in women, territory & mental health, or how to balance work and personal life more effectively
  • And more...


"It was truly an amazing week with powerful women's voices that left us with an electric atmosphere by the end of our last day. And our speakers were excited and proud to be a part of an event where many had to get comfortable with being uncomfortable: public speaking, language barriers, and some very personal stories" Rina Patel


Thank you to all our amazing colleagues who participated, shared their voices or helped behind the scene.

WITness was an awesome event! Glad to have had the opportunity to share some views on Data Analytics and my personal journey. It's another great example of the opportunities at HERE to engage and ensure that the "Voice of women" reaches a global inclusive audience. A big shout out to the organizers and especially to Darya Kamkalova who initiated this program several years ago. #LifeAtHERE #WomenInTech
