Women in the IT industry. A much-discussed topic in the world of work in recent years. As a woman, you belong to the exceptions in technical professions and proving yourself in this male-dominated environment is sometimes a challenge. Women are severely underrepresented in the IT sector worldwide. This can lead to consequences such as a lack of potential, the fight against prejudice or a lack of diversity in the IT sector. The fact is, therefore, that the lack of female employees in companies in the technical sector turns out to be negative in the long run. However, not only the lack of women, but also the lack of diversity in general is still a challenge for many companies in the IT sector.

At Sodex Innovations GmbH, this was identified as a potential problem at a very early stage and action was taken accordingly. The team currently consists of ten members, including one woman. And although it is still quite a small team, the members are different and diverse in many different aspects. Regardless of age, origin, education or gender: the team is a colourful mix. The heterogeneous working environment offers great scope for innovative ideas and effective implementation and cooperation. This is one of the special features of the Sodex team, of which everyone is very proud.

The advantages of a mixed environment are evident here from day to day. Women act as an innovative and creative force in teams in male-dominated professions and bring new insights to the work environment. Different perspectives on problems are thus made possible and the number of approaches to solutions is significantly increased. General diversity in the work team promotes interpersonal relationships and social competence in the workplace. As a heterogeneous team, people stick together and everyone’s tolerance is improved.
