During the month of March, we are thrilled to support International Women’s Day, on March 8, and Women’s History Month. At McAfee, we recognize the importance of an inclusive and diverse culture and as part of this year’s International Women’s Day call to action, we’ve asked team members from across the globe to share how they #BalanceForBetter at McAfee.
Check out some of these great moments and be sure to share your own #BalanceForBetter stories in the comments below!
Silvia – Software Sales Account Representative (Chile)
“I always wanted to work for a company that would support me in my role as a woman, a mother, a professional and an athlete. I found that place. McAfee allows me to be me and encourages me to do what I need to do to #BalanceForBetter.”
Priya – Customer Success Manager (India)
“At McAfee, I feel like I can grow my career and be an independent career-focused woman while still being a doting and caring mother and spouse. McAfee helped create the right balance between my family, future and career. #BalanceForBetter”
Steve – Head of Advanced Threat Research (U.S.)
“I wish I could say we had gender balance in Advanced Threat Research of 50/50 men and women. I wish we could say this at the industry level in general. However, there’s no time better than the present to change this.
What #BalanceForBetter means to me is engaging early by hosting lab days at McAfee or visiting schools. At McAfee, we have a chance to spark interest, demonstrate inclusiveness and promote real change in the gender gap across the IT industry. Without more women in tech, I truly feel like we are missing out on a unique and diverse perspective. As a father of two young girls with the potential to be anything, I know it’s time we change the status quo.”
Gurjeet – Engineering Manager (Canada)
“McAfee is like my second family. We celebrate each other’s achievements, encourage one another to give our best and are wonderful friends who always cheer each other up during difficult times.
Here, I can be my personal best every day at the office while doing all the things I cherish with my real family, like hiking, running, traveling and exploring the beautiful world.”
Paula – Head of Consumer ORD (Brazil)
“The consumer online business is a heavily results-driven organization that demands strong planning and speedy execution, so every minute counts! I #BalanceForBetter by creating clear business objectives that help me to prioritize my tasks and meetings – guaranteeing my weekdays are as productive as possible. This balance ensures that my mornings are spent in the gym and my evenings with family and friends, which ultimately gives me the energy and joy needed to execute my work each day.”
Laura – Marketing Communications Manager (Mexico)
“After working in marketing for more than 20 years in tech, I certainly believe that technology helps you find a balance of work and play – not having to choose between one or the other. I #BalanceForBetter at McAfee to define the best version of myself.”
Charan Jeet – MSSP Solutions Architect (Australia)
“McAfee’s flexible and supportive work culture plays a vital role. It encourages equal opportunity to every individual/employee irrespective of gender or background. It has helped me keep myself actively engaged in the activities I love, helping me #BalanceForBetter.”
Sonia – Talent Acquisition Partner (Argentina)
“We all live in the same world, but each person lives and experiences life through a different lens. Learning how to accept and sympathize with these different points of view is what makes the world a better place. As a recruiter, I enjoy communicating with diverse people to help them reach their full potential in all aspects of their work lives and personal lives. #BalanceForBetter”
Laura – Program Manager (Ireland)
“At McAfee, we are tipping the scales in terms of championing equality in the workplace. From our investment in gender pay parity to living the McAfee values and creating a better workplace where we are encouraged to be our full authentic selves. For me, that’s #BalanceforBetter.”
Andrea – Program Manager (Argentina)
“At McAfee, I #BalanceForBetter by leveraging my skills as a Program Manager to collaborate with teams around the globe. As a working mom at McAfee, I am offered a great work-life balance and I can #BalanceForBetter by devoting time to another one of my passions – playing soccer with my boys! This healthy mix helps me stay happy and well.”
