Celebrating Women in Tech
Here at TOPdesk UK, we have a very diverse workforce. Our culture encourages equal opportunities for everybody, regardless of gender, but we realise that this isn’t always the case across the wider IT and technology industry.
Only 35% of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) students in higher education in the UK are women. In the technology industry itself, the effect of a shortfall female STEM students has contributed to only 5% of leadership positions being held by women.
Unique to the IT and technology industries, over 50% of our workforce at TOPdesk UK are women! This is something we’re very, very proud of.
