Talent Optimization Leader Celebrates Its Women Leaders at Every
Level, Reports 45% of Employees are Women—Nearly Double the Industry
Average, Names Two Women to Board

BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–lt;a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/EX?src=hash” target=”_blank”gt;#EXlt;/agt;–International Women’s Day occurs every year on March 8th to raise
awareness for women’s equality and commemorate the social, economic,
cultural and political achievements of women. While women have made
great strides making up more than half of the U.S. workforce, only about
25% of the Technology field is occupied by women (NCWIT). The
Predictive Index (PI), a technology company and leader in talent
optimization, today reports 45% of its employees are women, nearly
double the industry average.

“The beauty of the PI platform is that it enables companies to
objectively match the right person to the job; gender and ethnicity are
irrelevant when looking for the best person,” said Senior Vice
President of Client Operations at The Predictive Index, Maribel
Olvera. “Successfully leading a team is only
possible when natural behaviors, values, and expertise—not your
gender—are the drivers for success. I thrive at PI thanks to the
company’s commitment to diversity and equal development opportunities
for all members of the organization.”

“The growth trajectory that PI is on provides an incredible opportunity
for women in leadership roles, both current leaders and those grooming
to become leaders,” said Senior Research Consultant at The Predictive
Index, Lisa
Black. “I’ve been at PI less than a year, and many women within
the organization have been promoted so that they now manage teams. In
fact, nearly 30% of people managers at PI are women, and that number is
growing!”

Also breaking with industry norms, while seven in 10 tech startups in
the U.S. have no women on their board of directors (Silicon Valley
Bank), The Predictive Index has two women on its board: Managing
Director at General Catalyst, Holly
Maloney and Executive in Residence at General Catalyst, Kirk
Arnold.

“PI cuts across all manner of protected classes; it measures motivating
needs that are present in all people irrespective of race, religion,
sexual orientation, and gender,” said Certified Partner at The
Predictive Index & President of ADVISA Heather
Haas. “For that reason, organizations who implement PI are more
objectively equipped to identify and proactively nurture latent
leadership potential across their organization.”

“Our mission at PI is ‘better work, better world’ and that means
creating a better workplace for everyone: women, minorities, LGBTQ, men,
everyone,” said Head of Brand and Communications at The Predictive
Index, Jennifer
Moebius. “There’s no doubt that PI walks the walk, but there is
still so much work to be done at large! For instance, only 11% of
executive positions are held by women at Silicon Valley companies. I’m
proud to be part of an organization with hiring practices based on
objective people data, and one that deliberately fosters diversity and
inclusion.”

“I can’t say enough about how empowered I am at PI to be myself,” said Client
Marketing Manager at The Predictive Index, Danielle
Dawkins. “At previous companies, my personality was billed as
“aggressive” or “assertive,” but leaders at PI see my personality as
something to be championed—not squelched.”
