At Microserve, fostering inclusivity and breaking down barriers are key to building a workplace where everyone can thrive. As highlighted in CRN’s coverage of our efforts, Microserve was honored with the CRN Women of the Year Gender Parity Award in 2024. This recognition reflects our ongoing commitment to empowering women in technology and creating opportunities for leadership and growth.
Our success stems from implementing tangible strategies that drive real change—ensuring representation, equity, and inclusivity at every level of the organization. From setting intentional hiring goals to offering robust mentorship and development programs, we’re shaping a culture where diversity fuels innovation and success.
Here’s how we’re driving real change in our industry and setting a benchmark for others to follow.
Rethinking Hiring Practices
We’ve set an ambitious but achievable target: at least 40% of candidates for senior and leadership roles must be women. Our dedicated internal recruitment team actively ensures that our hiring pools are diverse from the start. By prioritizing inclusivity in our recruitment strategies, we’re paving the way for women to step into leadership positions.

Addressing and Tackling Bias
Unconscious biases can impact decision-making in subtle but significant ways. That’s why we’ve developed comprehensive bias and diversity training programs for our leaders. These sessions help identify and address biases in hiring, promotions, and day-to-day interactions, fostering a more equitable workplace.
Representation in Leadership
Representation isn’t just symbolic—it’s transformative. Today, women hold three of our five executive leadership roles, including our COO and VP of HR. By elevating women and minorities into leadership, we’ve created role models for the next generation of leaders and reinforced our commitment to equity in succession planning.
Mentorship and Career Development
We believe in building a strong leadership pipeline by investing in our people. Our mentorship and leadership development programs are designed to empower women to grow their skills, expand their networks, and advance their careers.
Improving Parental Leave Policies
Balancing family and career shouldn’t be a barrier to success. That’s why we’ve introduced maternity and paternity top-up leave programs, providing financial support beyond government-mandated benefits. This initiative ensures new parents have the resources to focus on their families without compromising their careers.
