Attracting, retaining, and developing female talent across the world is not only essential to IBM’s company culture, but also a business imperative. Women have played a critical role in driving innovation at IBM since its founding in 1911. The organization’s efforts towards empowering women are around three main dimensions – strengthening an inclusive ecosystem, equipping and enabling women talent, and leadership accountability. IBM has multiple programs and resources available for women to advance their careers. “Step up” is an intentional career pathing program for women at mid-level. It focuses on enabling women with people management skills. LEAD,one of the leadership development programs, focuses on enabling women leaders to build resilience, be strategic leaders, challenge self-limiting beliefs, and enhance their internal and external eminence. The commitment to equal opportunity, focus on non-discrimination and anti-harassment in the workplace, efforts to support returning mothers with smooth transition back to work, and creating a pipeline of women for leadership roles through career development programs make IBM the leader in creating an inclusive workplace.
