Empowering Women in Data: Navigating Challenges, Seizing Opportunities
summary
Current landscape: women occupy about 25% of STEM roles, rose to ~31% pre-pandemic, fell to ~20% then recovers; Harvard Business Review data shows gender-diverse teams deliver better performance and innovation. Practical levers: hybrid/flexible work, returner schemes, menopause Workforce pledge, women's affinity networks, and mentoring programs that show men focus on task skills while women need help with social navigation and confidence. Tactical advice: apply broadly, negotiate offers, and build community to increase retention and impact.
