Microsoft Australia To Subsidize Partners’ Gender Diversity

According to a recent survey by Professionals Australia, women account for just 28 per cent of the workforce across the tech sector in Australia, compared with 45 per cent across other professional industries. In that survey, more than half of the women polled reported experiencing gender discrimination in the past three years.

Microsoft Australia is proud to be working with the Women Rising online program which is now available to Microsoft Australia partners. They have recently partnered with Megan Dalla-Camina to bring partners this unique online program fusing positive psychology, neuroscience, leadership development, gender science and wellbeing principles. It’s designed to support women to rise and achieve their leadership goals via a carefully curated journey.

Microsoft is offering its partners a hefty discount on leadership programs for women in a bid to improve diversity in the local tech sector.
