Case Study: Mend empowers women in tech roles with Growthspace

Empowering women in tech roles through 1:1 professional development at Mend.io

Mend.io, a software security company, faced the challenge of supporting women in its tech roles who were underrepresented and encountering obstacles like gender bias. To address this and foster a more inclusive environment, they partnered with Growthspace to create the "Ready to Grow" program, which utilized Growthspace's platform for professional development sprints.

The solution involved matching female employees from R&D and Product with external experts for one-on-one coaching sprints focused on leadership and communication skills. Using Growthspace enabled Mend.io to scale the program effectively, resulting in high participant satisfaction with a 4.6/5 rating and the completion of 51 sprints, which empowered women and helped develop internal talent.
