The United Nations hit the nail on the head when it said, “International Women’s Day is a reminder that gender equality is not only a fundamental human right but also a necessary foundation for a peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable world.” This special day is to globally celebrate the achievements of women, the unique challenges they face as they continue to break barriers, and what the future holds for women.
It’s been exactly one month since we celebrated International Women’s Day. This year’s theme is all about promoting inclusion inclusivity and tackling gender stereotypes. In celebration of this event, we asked the women of PressOne to share what inclusion means to them.
We also asked Atunrayo to share her experiences on what it is like working as a Junior Product Manager at PressOne. This is what she had to say:
My experience at PressOne
“At PressOne, my experience as a Junior Product Manager has been truly life-changing, especially as a woman in the tech industry. The environment here isn’t just about work; it’s about growth, support, and inclusivity. From day one, I’ve felt supported in pursuing my goals, whether they are professional or personal. There’s a genuine culture of empowerment that encourages everyone to reach their full potential. It’s not just about hitting targets; it is an environment where everyone can thrive.
An opportunity for growth
The opportunities I’ve been given at PressOne have been instrumental in my growth. I’ve been entrusted with responsibilities that have challenged me to think creatively. There’s a real sense of trust and belief in my abilities, which has boosted my confidence and allowed me to excel in my role.
Promoting equality and inclusion
But beyond the professional development, what sets PressOne apart is its commitment to inclusivity. Here, diversity isn’t just a fancy word; it’s evident in everything we do. I’ve never felt judged or discriminated against because of my gender or background. Instead, I’ve been embraced for who I am and the unique perspective I bring to the table.
Overall, my personal and professional journey at PressOne has been about more than just building products. It has shown me what’s possible when you’re supported, given opportunities, and valued for who you are. And for that, I’ll always be grateful.”
