At The Missing Link, we believe progress happens through action. This year’s International Women’s Day theme, #AccelerateAction, aligns with our commitment to building a more inclusive and supportive workplace. While one day can’t solve gender inequality, it’s a powerful reminder of the work still needed and the role we all play in driving change.

Shaping the future of women in tech

The IT industry has long been male-dominated, but that’s changing. More women are stepping into tech, breaking barriers, and leading innovation. Workplaces thrive when everyone has a fair opportunity to contribute and succeed. Workplaces thrive when talent —not gender — defines success, which is why we prioritise:

  • Flexible work practices: supporting remote work, flexible schedules, and outcome-based roles to enable career progression without compromising personal responsibilities.
  • Inclusive hiring: removing bias in job ads and hiring strategies to uncover the confidence gap that often holds women back from applying.
  • Leadership development: encouraging women to step into leadership roles before they feel ‘ready,’ because growth happens through experience.
  • Mentorship & advocacy: Providing guidance, sponsorship, and networks to accelerate careers and foster a culture of support.
