“We now are committed to finding women the work they want, getting them the pay they deserve, and having a community that supports them.”
Attracting top talent that provides a balanced, inclusive and diverse team for your organization isn’t the only hurdle Toast is working to remove; they’re also working to retain women in tech. April, based in Calgary, and Marissa, based in Toronto, also provide key insights on the unique challenges and opportunities in both cities and a case for why Calgary is an inherently more inclusive city.
