Testlio Response
4yThank you for your feedback. Having been a female in technology for 20 years I certainly understand the industry struggles with equity and equality in the workplace. Currently, women still only account for 26% of computing related jobs so we have a long way to go.
We’re working hard on gender equality at Testlio. Across the company, 44% of full-time people are women. On the Services team, 53% of our leaders (manager level and higher) are women. Our Executive Leadership Team (ELT) at Testlio is 57% women. We can do more, but at the same time we are outpacing industry averages.
While recent departures at Testlio may have seemed imbalanced, in actuality 57% of our 2021 Services departures were male. I personally, along with the entire Testlio ELT, have an immense passion for providing a different experience at Testlio. Embracing a diverse workforce that experiences equity and equality is intertwined in our values, inclusive of “Foster Inclusion.”
We are also looking to continually improve our communication, especially since our distributed-by-design team now spans over 20 countries. We strive to provide key communication through our monthly timezone optimized all hands, weekly recaps, heavy use of Slack, recorded video messages, and open door policies. Of course there is always room for improvement, and we appreciate your perspective.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts,
Summer Weisberg
Chief Client Officer
