Science has long been male-dominated, but in recent years, there has been a concerted effort to break down gender barriers and create a more inclusive and diverse STEM community. Despite these efforts, women and girls are still underrepresented in STEM fields. Only 35% of the world's students enrolled in STEM fields are women.
Both genders have the potential to excel in the engineering field and make meaningful contributions to their workplace and the broader engineering community.
CodeCooperation, a rising Software development company, addresses these challenges and ensures a level playing field for all engineers. It is important for us to promote diversity and inclusiveness in the workplace and to provide equal opportunities for all engineers, regardless of their gender, to succeed and advance in their careers. By creating a supportive and inclusive work environment, we maximize the potential of ALL engineers.
“The thing is, I don’t see the difference between genders in CodeCooperation! At the end of the day, we are all engineers; who spend more than 8 hours a day together, working, coding, eating and chatting. “ says Nada, a software development engineer.
The topic of gender-equality and fairness in opportunities should never be just words we use on special occasions but, rather, should be implemented on a daily basis in organizations. CodeCooperation has been successful in doing this; with 50% of leadership positions being taken by women.
Sana, Full-Stack JS Developer engineer in CodeCooperation, adds:“ Knowledge wise, there is no difference between boys and girls in STEM. The problem is, in the IT field in general, there is no accurate representation of women in terms of numbers. To all the girls interested in following the engineering path, I encourage you! This career is very interesting, you develop passion for using technology and creativity to improve the world. Try it out, learn new skills, do not give up, even if there is no one supporting you.”
In conclusion, International Women and Girls in Science Day serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for gender equality in STEM fields, and the importance of empowering women and girls to pursue their passions and achieve their full potential, something that CodeCooperation is still working on. Let's continue to work together to create a more diverse and inclusive STEM community that values and celebrates the contributions of all individuals.
In light of the alarming fact that approximately 90% of startups face failure, with team-related issues being a primary contributing factor, the proverb "No Team, No Dream" resonates more profoundly than ever in the dynamic and competitive landscape of today's business world. Success in business can never be a solo effort; it is often the result of collaborative efforts, shared goals, and effective teamwork. However, navigating the hiring journey poses unique challenges for startup founders, adding complexity to building and maintaining a strong team. One of the critical challenges faced by startup founders in the hiring process is a lack of hiring experience. As many founders are busy managing various aspects of their startup, the hiring journey becomes time-consuming and potentially costly. Hiring, if approached without careful consideration, can also mimic the competitive nature of sales, making it imperative for founders to develop effective hiring strategies.
