Sigma Software is committed to removing barriers based on bias, not only within the company but in the industry in general. So, we decided to highlight this direction of our strategy in our application for HR Brand Ukraine, annual award for the most successful projects in the field of human capital management, reputation, and image of companies as employers.

Our company was recognized as one of the best employers in Diversity and Inclusion Category, HR Brand Ukraine. The winners were selected among 46 leading Ukrainian and international companies that applied 63 projects. Since Sigma Software’s strategy has always been focused on people, their needs, professional growth, and realizing their potential, regardless of gender, we consider this award a significant acknowledgement of our efforts.

Sigma Software has been promoting gender equality since its inception and has singled it out as a separate project since 2022. To overcome the barriers that cause inequality between men and women in the field of technology, Sigma Software works to create synergy between business associations, educational institutions, and society as a whole.

In reaching the gender balance, the company sees its main tasks as:

Overcome the historical imbalance

Overcome prejudices and stereotypes

Increase the talent pool

Remove hostility and non-inclusive culture

Ensure work-life balance

Eliminate unequal opportunities

Besides the continuous improvement of the company’s policies & practices, our activities to achieve gender balance include several external and internal projects:

Sigma Software’s flagship project aimed at fighting stereotypes and attracting more women to technical professions. Femmegineering focuses on making female role models more visible and creating a supportive, inclusive environment where women can access the resources needed to build successful careers in technology. The project aims to attract girls to the technical field, give them confidence, and help them choose the profession that is more to their liking. Within the framework of this project, in 2024 Star for Life Ukraine in partnership with Sigma Software organized numerous webinars, courses, and career guidance lectures for girls.

Julia Ostroukh, Head of HR Department at Sigma Software, says:

“By providing equal opportunities at its level, the organization receives not only new advantages for its business. Over time, it begins to exert a global influence, changing first a separate industry, then society in an entire country, and later the whole world.”
