Alation named as one of best places for women to work

Enterprise data intelligence outfit Alation  has been named as one of the best places for women to work.

2022 UK’s Best Workplaces for Women by Great Place to WorkUK is based on anonymous feedback from women employees who reported on their workplace experience and their representation in the workforce and management.

The award, now in its fifth year, showcases the best workplaces for women based on a number of criteria including culture and support for career progression.

It recognises organisations with a culture where people trust each other, and employees are able to reach their full potential no matter their role or function. The award further recognises organisations which support the different identities women hold and ensures their daily experiences are positive.

In January 2021, Alation founded a “Women at Alation” group to offer career growth opportunities and mentorship to women employees. Alation is also a proud sponsor of Women in Data and Women in Revenue.

Alation Chief People Officer Joy Wolken said: “In the last year, Alation’s EMEA team has grown 5x. This award highlights the fantastic culture that the team in the UK has created, underscoring our commitment to supporting employees and creating an environment based on equality and empowerment, regardless of gender. Alation is proud of its workplace culture, and will continue to offer a welcoming experience for women at every level of our organisation.”
