Hey ,

As a manager or HR leader, your greatest impact lies in how you empower and uplift your employees, especially from underrepresented groups. When people feel valued, supported, and fairly treated, they’re more engaged, innovative, and invested in their work. Creating this kind of environment doesn’t happen by chance—it requires intentional strategies and leadership practices.

One key approach is fostering open communication. Regularly check in with your team, not just about projects, but about their goals, challenges, and well-being. Listening with empathy and responding thoughtfully builds trust and helps employees feel heard.

Another essential component is recognizing achievements, big and small. Celebrating wins boosts morale and motivates teams to strive for continued success. Public recognition paired with personal acknowledgment goes a long way.

Equally important is managing benefits and compensation ethically. Transparency, fairness, and regular evaluations of pay structures are critical to ensuring that employees are compensated appropriately and competitively. Understanding the landscape of benefits and salaries can help companies attract and retain top talent while fostering loyalty and trust.

To support this effort, we created our recent Salary Report and are curious to know how managers and HR leaders use this data effectively. Would you be able to take five minutes to fill out our survey to collect worthwhile data on the topic? Your participation will help us provide actionable insights to create more equitable workplaces.

Uplifting your employees is about more than perks—it’s about fostering a culture of respect, fairness, and growth. Lead with intention, and your organization will thrive.

​​Join us for a night of thoughtful connections and inspirational programming with other women in tech who share your interests. The networking will be low-pressure, the dress code is casual, and the vibes will be 🔥.

​Capacity for this event is limited. Please request an invite if you want to join us! Pro Members will be given priority, and we’ll share remaining invites on a first-come, first-serve basis.

This event would not be possible without the support of our sponsor, Northeastern University. Northeastern University’s Khoury College of Computer Sciences believes computer science is for everyone.

​​In addition to traditional, direct entry Master’s programs, the Align Master’s programs provide pathways to a Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science or Cybersecurity for people with nontechnical backgrounds.

​It’s not just an iconic 80s anthem by The Clash. It’s a burning question for thousands of leaders who feel that something’s off in their careers. Should I make it work where I am, make a small pivot, or blow it up and start fresh?

​If you're wrestling with this kind of professional uncertainty, Grace is here to guide you through it with clarity and confidence. Career decisions can be tricky. In addition to supporting ourselves (and sometimes others), our work can be deeply tied to identity, purpose, and belonging. But feeling stuck or trapped isn’t the end of the road—it can actually be the start of something new and exciting!

​Let’s move you from career confusion to career clarity and confidence! This session will not be recorded to protect the confidentiality of all attendees and create a safe space for our community to come together and discuss any career challenges.

​Come meet fellow Tech Ladies at this virtual meetup, aka speed networking! We're meeting at an earlier time this month so that Tech Ladies based in Europe, Africa, and Asia can join the meetup at a more reasonable hour.

​We'll meet on Zoom and match you into breakout rooms with other members to quickly meet some new Tech Ladies in a short amount of time. You don't need to come prepared with anything! We'll give you icebreaker questions to discuss in your breakout rooms.

​Just come with an open mind and willingness to meet some new folks.

As always, you can find more details on our upcoming events here.
