Celebrating Women's Day
Honoring Women in Tech: Meet the Women at GoFormz Driving Innovation and Equality
International Women’s Day is celebrated every year on March 8th to celebrate the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women. This year, GoFormz is especially proud to recognize and celebrate women in the tech industry!
From leadership positions to technical roles, women are making significant strides and pushing boundaries in tech. In this blog post, we will discuss the importance of women in tech and celebrate our female leaders at GoFormz who are driving innovation and equality.
The Importance of Women in Tech
Diversity in tech is vital; this empowers companies to create more inclusive products that take everyone into consideration. A study from McKinsey found that diverse companies perform better, hire better talent, and retain employees longer than companies that aren’t diverse. Despite this, women remain widely underrepresented in tech and make up only 28% of the tech workforce.

At GoFormz, we recognize the importance of women in tech and strive to create an inclusive culture. Having women in leadership positions also helps create a positive work environment that promotes equality and diversity. Our team is made up of women in various roles, from product to customer support. We believe that by fostering a culture of inclusion, we can create better products and leave a positive impact on our industry.
