The Women Tech Council awards companies committed to breaking technology’s glass ceiling

SALT LAKE CITY — March 13, 2019 — Instructure, Inc. (NYSE: INST), the leading software-as-a-service (SaaS) technology company that helps people grow from their first day of school to their last day of work, today announced it has been recognized in the Women Tech Council’s 2019 Shatter List for actively employing measures to help break the glass ceiling for women in technology. The company was awarded for its development and successful implementation of measures that create gender-inclusive cultures where women can contribute and succeed.

“Breaking the glass ceiling for women in technology requires companies to move beyond single-sided efforts to organization-wide solutions that actively create gender-inclusive teams and environments,” said Cydni Tetro, president of Women Tech Council. “The programs and practices these companies are building and implementing are creating this type of impact for those in their organization, and helping advance women in technology across the entire sector.”

In making the list, Instructure was evaluated and scored against hundreds of technology companies on executive engagement, company programming, community investment and women’s or D&I groups. All data was gathered from 10 secondary data sets and required active demonstration of visible activities at all levels of the company showing commitment and progress in these four areas.

"At Instructure, we celebrate diversity and focus on inclusion to ensure work is a place where people are valued and respected for who they are and have opportunities to learn and develop," said Marta DeBellis, CMO at Instructure. “We thank the Women Tech Council for this honor and remain committed to advancing diversity in tech.”

Among these criteria, Instructure was especially recognized for the work of its global Diversity and Inclusion Council, including its participation and support of the Parity Pledge and the ElevateHER Challenge. It also partners with organizations that promote diversity in the workplace and build skills for the future workforce including Girls Go Digital, CodeChangers, Women Tech Council, and the Women’s Leadership Institute.
