In addition to celebrating Juneteenth, Fifth Third Bank is also marking the one-year anniversary of the creation of its Executive Diversity Leadership Council and the work it has done to accelerate racial equity, equality, and inclusion.
Nearly half of India’s 1.3 billion people are women. Yet women comprise only one-third of HP employees in India—and just 15 percent are managers. When HP’s Nanditha Seetharamaiah learned about this inequality, she decided to do something about it.
Happy Pi Day! Pi Day is celebrated on 3/14 around the world. Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.141592. Pi has been calculated to over one trillion digits beyond its decimal point.
Today is a celebration of math and continuous measurement and movement. In honor of Women’s History Month, we sat down with three JetBlue crewmembers in math and technology-related careers who keep our airline moving non-stop. From figuring out JetBlue’s flight times and IT problem solving to buying airplanes, these women help fuel the airline.
Despite the substantial, positive contribution to growth and innovation made by women, disparities still exist in access to education and economic opportunities that limit women from achieving their full sociopolitical power.
In my role at JetBlue, I see firsthand how important science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) are to shaping future generations of leaders. Most of the critical functions of JetBlue require STEM, including aircraft flight, repair, and routing.
Yet the aviation industry still lacks women in technical and analytical positions, a trend that is seen throughout the aviation sector. Women pilots, for instance, represent less than 7% of the commercial pilot population, and women represent less than 3% of all mechanics, according to 2015 data from the Federal Aviation Administration.
In celebration of Women’s History Month, JetBlue would like to bring attention to the great work being done by the Rwandan Girls Initiative (RGI) whose mission is to educate and empower girls of Rwanda to reach their highest potential. JetBlue was recently introduced to RGI through our inflight entertainment partners - The Nantucket Project (TNP). Last fall, the JetBlue Foundation helped fly several women from RGI to Nantucket for the TNP annual gathering.
The theme of this year’s International Women’s Day is #pressforprogress, and though we’re undeniably advancing toward gender equality in our workplaces, I think there’s still more to be done. Often, one of the issues that holds many women back begins in childhood, when certain behaviours are labelled.
