The rating reflects representation of women at every level of the company’s leadership team.
The rating has been applauded as a stand-out, considering only a quarter of the cyber security workforce are women.
The Ellect Silver Star for Excellent Achievement of Gender Equality in Business also recognises that the company actively supports gender equality from the board down.
The importance of gender diversity in leadership was recently highlighted by Sandra D’Souza, founder of Ellect, in her book From Bias to Equality: How business leaders can drive innovation, success and profitability by embracing true gender balance.
“The focus of my book and research is to prove that equality in the workplace leads to positive business outcomes including greater innovation and profitability,” said D’Souza.
“The glass ceiling remains in place for women, despite the fact that women can often bring diverse perspectives to organisations that will help them grow. One of the best ways to make the case is to highlight the many businesses that recognise the value women bring and how these organisations are thriving as a result.
“archTIS is a great example of this process in action – showing there are now many more options for intelligent, qualified women to become leaders in what are currently male-dominated fields. The value women will bring to these organisations is immense.”
Diversity has helped make archTIS a stronger company, encouraging diverse perspectives, Daniel Lai, managing director and chief executive officer of archTIS, said.
“We’re immensely pleased to be recognised by Ellect for our diverse team. We believe the unique perspectives that diversity brings to our business make us stronger, more competitive, and a great place to work.
“We’re proud to be setting an example for ASX-listed companies looking to reap the rewards of fostering more diversity in the workplace.”
