Achieving gender equality has always been a business priority at PTC, which is why we are proud of our female representation across the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Today, women represent 51.9 percent of our workforce in the U.S.*, 36 percent at Board of Directors level and 40 percent at Executive Committee level**. Furthermore, we have 66 percent female representation across our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (ED&I) committees. At our international headquarters in Ireland, women hold 60 percent of the leadership roles***.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Globally, the journey to improving gender equality continues, and at PTC, we remain committed to creating opportunities for women throughout our leadership pipeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have specific initiatives and programs in place to make this possible, which focus on empowering, inspiring and advancing women at all levels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hiring and Retention<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At PTC, we expand beyond traditional channels to find and develop diverse and underrepresented talent. Our inclusive hiring practices include crafting bias-free job descriptions, diverse sourcing, structured interviews, blind recruitment, diverse hiring panels, unconscious bias training for hiring managers and offering candidate support accommodations. These measures ensure a fair and equitable recruitment process, thereby creating a more inclusive workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PTC has made a firm commitment to supporting work flexibility and has not mandated strict onsite working arrangements. This flexibility supports female employees to achieve a better work-life balance, particularly if they juggle their working life with caregiving responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PTC also offers a variety of benefits, rewards and well-being options to support and retain working parents in the workplace. These include medical, financial, child bonding & family planning, work-life balance, assistance programs and more.**<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Empowering & Inspiring Women<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To cultivate an open and inclusive workplace culture, we established channels for transparent communication where employees, regardless of gender, feel comfortable discussing their concerns. By encouraging open dialogue, we have created a supportive atmosphere where women can voice their needs without fear of judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a dedicated Employee Resource Group, Women + International Network (W+IN), which provides opportunities for women to connect across geographies, disciplines and structures, and learn about and address topics that impact women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
