Make Tech Purple

The tech world is riddled with the problem of gender disparity and underrepresentation in its workforce. Women and minorities are harrowingly underrepresented in the field, and lacking diversity reduces creativity and innovation.? #MakeTechPurple is about changing that. We want to make the industry more inclusive, so everyone can successfully contribute their unique perspectives and talents.

In a rapidly changing job market, retaining women in the workforce requires more than just standard perks. According to recent data, many women plan to stay with their employer for only around 2.5 years, emphasizing that career advancement, learning opportunities, and work-life balance are crucial for long-term retention. Employers that prioritize these elements can build a more engaged, loyal, and motivated team. What initiatives have you seen make a difference in retention for women in the workplace? #EmployeeEngagement #CareerGrowth #WorkLifeBalance #RetentionStrategies
