Measuring What Matters: Top Companies for Women Technologists 2016
AnitaB.org’s Top Companies for Women Technologists is a U.S. program that recognizes companies building workplaces where women technologists can thrive.
First launched in 2011, the program uses a rigorous methodology to analyze data from participating organizations and produce insights across three key areas: representation, employee experience, and programs and policies.
At a time when women technologists are significantly underrepresented across industries, Top Companies data can help us clearly understand whether the industry is improving, who is committed to change and advancement, and what policies, procedures and actions are most effective in driving progress.
Some stats from the 2016 program:
Evaluated 60 companies
More than 1.4 million U.S. employees represented
Including 552,000 technologists across 10 industries
Women held 21.7% of technical roles, a 0.9 percent increase from 2015, across these participating companies
