Women at SAP

#WomenatSAP

We are innovators, coders, and leaders. We're helping to change the future for women working in tech.

The power to be yourself

Gender equality is an important part of SAP’s mission to help the world run better and improve people’s lives. Operating in an industry often cited for its lack of diversity, SAP has been working to counter this trend and be a tech company that is willing to lead by example.

 

Women in Technology@SAP

"Women in Technology@SAP" is a board-area program that aims to create a cross-functional, cross-level platform to explore and promote the role of women in technology at SAP.  It encourages and support networks between like-minded colleagues and supports SAP's commitment to the 17 UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development with a focus on goal 5: gender equality.

We champion women

Since SAP made greater gender balance a priority and the executive board set a goal for women in leadership, we have put a number of efforts and initiatives in place to help us move the needle.

For SAP, gender equality is a core company value and a strategic priority. In 2016, SAP was the first IT company to certify with Economic Dividends for Gender Equality (EDGE), an independent third-party certification organization that analyzes policies, practices, and data to help ensure a sustainable approach to diversity and inclusion.

In June 2017, SAP met the board-level goal of having 25% of management positions filled by women globally, with a continued commitment to increasing this number each year by 1%, to reach 30% by 2022.

In 2018, SAP recertified with the organization, recognizing our strategic commitment to creating a gender-equal workplace that benefits employees, customers, and partners. Going through the EDGE certification has helped us to identify gaps and set the course for where we want to go in the future.

Business Women's Network

The largest employee-driven network at SAP with more than 13,000 members and more than 60 chapters around the world, Business Women's Network offers women at SAP the opportunity to share professional insight and best practices, and help one another develop skills and advance their careers.

"Women's Professional Growth" Webinar series

Run on a monthly basis by the Global Diversity and Inclusion Office, this career-development series is aimed at empowering women across SAP. Leaders from all levels across the SAP organization as well as powerful external speakers discuss topics such as health, mentoring, and personal branding. 

Leadership Excellence Acceleration Program

The Leadership Excellence Acceleration Program (LEAP) is a highly respected and award-winning development program that helps prepare high-potential women for leadership roles at SAP. The year-long program is a targeted development journey focused on women who have the potential and desire to rise into people-management positions. It utilizes a five-pillar model and participants meet monthly in a virtual classroom, where they delve into a different leadership-focused topic every month, discuss assignments, and have the opportunity to ask questions and get direct feedback.

SAP Women Forward

SAP Women Forward optimizes workforce equality and diversity through fostering a change in conversation around the big table, bringing women and influencers worldwide together on one common platform. Our aim is to encourage forward-minded collaboration on everyday business challenges, personal insights, and success stories of the modern day working woman.
