Women at Creditinfo
In today’s professional landscape, women face unique challenges and barriers in advancing their careers, such as limited access to networking opportunities, mentorship, and resources tailored to their needs. While strides have been made towards gender equality in the workplace, there remains a significant gap in representation and support for women in various industries.
Therefore, there is a pressing need to establish a women’s networking group aimed at fostering connections, providing mentorship, and empowering women to thrive in their careers at Creditinfo Group. Our Employee Resourcing Group (ERG) is designed to promote gender equality, support career development, advocacy, and fostering meaningful networking opportunities for all employees, with a particular focus on women.
