Company ranks in the top 20% of global
companies included on this year's list
WATERLOO, ON, Oct. 29,
2024 /CNW/
-- OpenTextTM (NASDAQ: OTEX), (TSX: OTEX)
today announced it has been named one of the World's Top Companies
for Women 2024 by Forbes. The list, which is generated by Forbes in
partnership with Statista, celebrates global companies that support
women in the workplace. OpenText, which has been named to the list
for the second consecutive year, ranked within the top 20% of
global companies.
Companies who received this recognition were evaluated through
multiple globally administered independent surveys of approximately
100,000 women. Survey participants were asked questions on a
variety of gender-related workplace topics, and additional factors
such as public opinion and leadership were also considered in this
year's ranking methodology.
"We are honored to be recognized as one of the World's Top
Companies for Women," said Mark J.
Barrenechea, CEO & CTO of OpenText. "While some
corporations are questioning their commitment to Diversity, Equity
and Inclusion, OpenText is not. Our culture centers on performance,
fairness, and being practical. We strive to unlock the voice and
potential in each of our employees, in the context of our business,
and believe this is essential to be a top innovator and
performer."
Through the OpenText Zero-In Initiative, OpenText has declared
strong commitments under its Zero Barriers pillar which include a
majority ethnically diverse workforce and 50/50 gender parity in
key roles by 2030 as well as 40% women in leadership across all
management levels by 2030. By leveraging key programs that focus on
recruitment and retention strategies, women in leadership,
mentorship, and uplifting the company's largest Employee Network
Group, Worldwide OpenText Women (WOW), OpenText is making positive
progress against these goals. More information on the OpenText
Zero-In Initiative is available in the company's annual Corporate
Citizenship Report.
"Diversity advances collaboration, drives innovation, and
accelerates growth," added Barrenechea. "We are extremely proud of
our inclusive and award-winning culture here at OpenText and we
will continue to create a work environment where all employees feel
valued, and each person can thrive."
Forbes recognition of OpenText as one of the World's Top
Companies for Women 2024 is the latest in a series of impressive
achievements awarded to the company. Additional recent award wins
also include:
- Being named one of the World's Top Employers 2024 by Forbes
