Women's Equality Day
August 26, 2022

How Women's Equality Day can help close the gender gap in the tech industry

On August 26th, we celebrate Women’s Equality Day in the United States. This day commemorates the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which granted women the right to vote. It is also a time to reflect on how far women have come over the years, and to consider what still needs to be done in order to achieve true gender equality. 


One issue that still requires attention is the gender gap in the tech industry. Despite making great strides over the past few decades, women are still underrepresented in tech jobs.  According to statistics, while women make up almost half of the workforce, they are severely underrepresented in software engineering (14%) and computer science-related professions (25%). In reality, only 2% more women have been hired for software engineering positions in the last 21 years. We should shift our focus from "glass ceilings" to the larger issue of women not being given opportunities to enter technical fields.

The Power of Community

By Volteo Digital • April 8, 2024
Since childhood, the desire to be part of a community, to find that sense of belonging and experience harmony and balance, has been a fundamental human need. We search for this feeling in various places - with our family, friends, school, and beyond. I didn't truly appreciate the significance of this until I embarked on my career in public relations. When I first joined the team at Volteo Digital, I was tasked with understanding what it takes to build a strong community. It was a challenge initially, but as my aspiration to be a leader and friend within the company grew, I stumbled upon Charles H. Vogl's compelling book The Art of Community. This book made me reflect deeply on our membership community and its profound implications. What I've learned has shown me the value of meaningful connections. These connections transform our lives by allowing us to share ideas, engage in activities, and celebrate successes.
