All walks of life are represented at Xero, and they do a great job of identifying when they need to do better. There are also many learning opportunities presented - just this week we celebrated Ada Lovelace day with a women and gender diverse panel where they were able to speak candidly about their experiences in the workforce and uni. They also took questions, which were all very respectful and were genuinely from a place of wanting to learn and support others.
There is still some way to go to get that nice level playing field but Xero actively tries to do better every day.
