Scaling Walls: The Barriers to Female Representation and How Atlassian is Eliminating Them

About this presentation

<span style="font-weight: 400;">It's not a secret that women are extremely underrepresented in technical fields around the world. In this talk, you'll see scientific evidence of the barriers that women face in the technical workplace, and hear about concrete strategies to overcome them. Collaboration software company Atlassian has used this knowledge to develop tactics and initiatives to overcome these barriers, resulting in &gt;46% female technical hires in their last three intern and graduate cohorts. Join Atlassian's Global Head of Diversity &amp; Inclusion to learn about what you can do to overcome the gender gap. The talk will include a Q&amp;A session, so please bring questions!</span>
