Every year on March 8, the world comes together to celebrate International Women's Day (IWD), a day dedicated to recognizing the achievements of women and advocating for gender equality. This year’s theme, 'Accelerate Action', serves as a powerful call to push forward with greater urgency, ensuring that progress towards gender parity doesn’t take generations, but happens now.
The Importance of Accelerating Action
At the current pace, full gender equality won’t be achieved until 2158—over 130 years from today. That’s five generations too long. The reality is that systemic barriers, biases, and gender disparities still hinder women's growth in various industries, especially in traditionally male-dominated fields like technology.
To truly Accelerate Action, we must amplify the strategies that work, elevate the voices of women in leadership, and break down the barriers that continue to exist in workplaces and communities. This means not only creating opportunities but actively fostering environments where women can thrive, lead, and shape the future.
Mayan Technologies: A Commitment to Gender Equality
At Mayan Technologies, we take this responsibility seriously. As a company that specializes in ERP solutions (Epicor) and staffing, we understand the critical role that diversity plays in innovation and success. Women are an integral part of our workforce, making up 46% of our team—a figure well above the tech industry average. More notably, women hold key leadership roles across the company. Out of our six partners, four are women, and among our seven leadership positions, four are filled by women. This strong representation at the top underscores our commitment to fostering an inclusive and empowering workplace.
We don’t just believe in gender equality; we practice it daily by ensuring that women have the resources, support, and leadership pathways they deserve. Whether it’s through mentorship, career development, or fostering an inclusive workplace, Mayan Technologies is committed to empowering women in tech and beyond.
