International Women's Day (IWD) serves as a global celebration of women's achievements and a call for gender parity, themes strongly embraced by Elastic, a technology company striving to enhance gender diversity and inclusion within its workforce. Elastic has made concerted efforts to recruit more women, resulting in a 6% rise in female employees, alongside initiatives to create a supportive workplace that values kindness and compassion. The company has introduced 16 weeks of paid parental leave for all parents, emphasizing the importance of equal opportunities at work and home. Through events like the Women’s Breakfast at their Elastic{ON} conference, Elastic fosters dialogue on diversity and inclusion, aiming to extend these discussions globally. Despite acknowledging the long road to gender parity, Elastic remains committed to making meaningful changes, believing in the impact of collective efforts to foster an equitable environment.
