I was the only woman in many teams. I tried to fit the mould of what I thought people wanted: be pretty, be one of the boys, be charming, be less funny, be less emotional, be quiet. It was exhausting trying to keep that up. When you just stop hiding behind a mask, it is not only liberating, but you realise it is essential to being a good leader. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Trust has its roots in authenticity &#8211; people can\u2019t completely trust you if they don\u2019t believe you. I think part of that responsibility to encourage employees to embrace authenticity at work is down to company culture. At Salesforce I am very fortunate that I can be myself and in doing that, I have advanced in my career. My advice to help #BreakTheBias is to be brave. It can be daunting of course, but if you put your true authentic self out there, the payback for you, your teams and your company will be huge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-rebecca-komodikis-senior-success-manager\"><b>Rebecca Komodikis (Senior Success Manager)<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f886a347d34&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69f886a347d34\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"549\" height=\"552\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/10\/rebecca.png?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/10\/rebecca.png 549w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/10\/rebecca.png?w=150&amp;h=150 150w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/10\/rebecca.png?w=298&amp;h=300 298w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 549px) 100vw, 549px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>Retaining women in the workplace and providing opportunities where they can grow and develop into leadership positions is critical in breaking the bias, not only at Salesforce but in the technology industry as a whole.

Flexibility and support are hugely important for females in all positions, regardless of level or department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also important to promote the fact that they are brilliant at their jobs, and not just that they are women doing a good job. Oftentimes we specifically call them out as \u2018female\u2019 or \u2018women\u2019 leaders. They should merely be called \u2018leaders\u2019, like their male counterparts. These are small changes, but they can be powerful. On a higher level, companies should strive for gender balance across senior leadership, which I think Salesforce are quite good at and I\u2019m very fortunate to be able to work for a company that has been recognised as a great place to work for women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-alice-steels-regional-sales-director-finserv-uki-tableau\"><b>Alice Steels (Regional Sales Director FinServ UKI, Tableau)<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f886a34a750&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69f886a34a750\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/10\/AliceSteels.jpeg?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/10\/AliceSteels.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/10\/AliceSteels.jpeg?w=150&amp;h=150 150w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/10\/AliceSteels.jpeg?w=300&amp;h=300 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>Salesforce is doing its part in a BIG way to make women feel like their careers are important; if not more so when returning to work after maternity leave. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The benefits Salesforce provide when on maternity leave are like no other company I\u2019ve ever experienced.

It\u2019s definitely a standard I would like to see rolled out across the industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-denise-wyer-rvp-start-ups-ireland\"><b>Denise Wyer (RVP, Start Ups Ireland)<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f886a34c875&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69f886a34c875\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/10\/Denise-Wyer.jpeg?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/10\/Denise-Wyer.jpeg 450w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/10\/Denise-Wyer.jpeg?w=150&amp;h=150 150w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/10\/Denise-Wyer.jpeg?w=300&amp;h=300 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>International Women\u2019s Day is a <a adhocenable=\"false\" href=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/uk\/blog\/2020\/03\/International-Womens-Day-2020.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wonderful opportunity to recognise and celebrate the incredible achievements of women around us<\/a>. I\u2019m extremely proud to be part of a company that does the work to create a more equal workforce all year round. A great example of the impactful work Salesforce is doing is offering paid maternity and paternity leave to their employees, breaking the bias of childcare responsibility. This has never been more relevant when we consider that women have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic due to the unequal responsibility of unpaid child care.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Businesses need to put the structures in place to help create an equal workforce and each person within that business can help. As leaders in the business, one of the most impactful things we can do is to create a culture that promotes equal and transparent opportunity, mentorship and advocacy for everyone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensuring that both the women and men within our teams have access to mentors who will help support their skills and career development and will advocate for them is crucial. I\u2019ve had wonderful female and male mentors and advocates who have helped me progress my career and I\u2019m extremely passionate about the impact mentors can have. Creating a culture of equality comes down to both women and allies, but also to the organisations that employ them and I\u2019m grateful to work for a company that holds equality to such a high standard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-chloe-carton-enterprise-account-manager\"><b>Chlo\u00eb Carton (Enterprise Account Manager)<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f886a34dab9&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69f886a34dab9\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/10\/ChloeCarton.jpeg?strip=all&#038;quality=95\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/10\/ChloeCarton.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/10\/ChloeCarton.jpeg?w=150&amp;h=150 150w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/10\/ChloeCarton.jpeg?w=300&amp;h=300 300w, https:\/\/www.salesforce.com\/eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2023\/10\/ChloeCarton.jpeg?w=768&amp;h=768 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>In my mind, the most important thing a company can do to help #BreakTheBias surrounding gender and minority group inequality is to simply make a start. Recognise the issues and the \u2018why\u2019 behind them. How did we get here? And what\u2019s the benefit of evolving? Time and time again, research has found that a diverse workforce leads to greater creativity, efficiency, productivity, a broader range of skills and perspectives, and an improved cultural awareness; all aiding an organisation\u2019s KPIs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Preconceived judgements must be broken down, and in their place, we must create a space for learning, action and open communication. Unconscious bias is a real thing which takes effort and self-awareness to avoid. There is no \u201cI\u2019ll start on Monday\u201d. This practice must start, and begin again every single day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We must refuse to accept that having a diverse workforce is difficult, and unachievable. Sponsorship of gender equality coming from the top is important, but it\u2019s also everyone\u2019s responsibility and needs to be ingrained into the vision of the company. Employees should be trained on their unconscious biases. Yes, self-reflection can be uncomfortable, but change comes from being uncomfortable, and the end goal will be worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The phrase \u201cthe whole is so much greater than the sum of the parts\u201d is absolutely relevant when driving diverse teams and we can #BreakTheBias when we bring together diverse perspectives to contribute and learn. In doing so, organisations will attract top talent and retain happy and motivated employees, who, feeling that their voice counts; will speak up and share their ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, it will shape the workplace of tomorrow, but ultimately it\u2019s just the right thing to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about <a adhocenable=\"false\"
