Summary

Harness is enhancing its commitment to diversity and inclusion by revitalizing its women@harness Employee Resource Group (ERG) with a new mission to empower women at all levels of the company through mentorship and allyship, aiming to boost individual and organizational success. An executive sponsor, General Counsel Jill Passalacqua, has been appointed to champion this mission, bringing her leadership experience to the initiative. The ERG leadership team, consisting of passionate volunteers, plays a crucial role in the program's development, alongside celebrating and supporting women's achievements in the workplace. As part of this initiative, key members like Ankita Rosensweig, Britney Pierini, and Fanny share their experiences and efforts in breaking biases and supporting women's professional growth, aligning with the International Women’s Day theme #BreakTheBias. The company aims to have a broader impact on the tech industry's climate beyond its internal environment and encourages participation by inviting people to join their community or talent network.
