Redstor is a born-in-the-cloud software vendor and provider of the smarter cloud backup platform of choice for managed service providers (MSPs). 

The vendor says that it is dedicated to nurturing a diverse talent pool. Redstor's WINTribe, an initiative conceived by women for inclusivity and diversity, also engages male allies in its mission and aims to create an atmosphere where everyone, irrespective of gender, can flourish.

Central to the WINTribe ethos is the establishment of a workspace that values diverse perspectives and contributions.

"Through meticulously crafted mentorship initiatives, upskilling programmes and dynamic leadership development, we empower our team members to achieve professional success," says Linda Misauer, VP of software security and chair of the Women's Impact Network at Redstor.

According to the vendor, the recruitment process at Redstor is committed to ensuring a rich tapestry of potential hires. By addressing unconscious biases and gender-specific challenges via training, Redstor aspires to provide an environment conducive to holistic growth.

According to the company, by emphasising unique viewpoints and promoting a setting of respect and parity, Redstor ensures that female talent is recognised and celebrated, substantially enriching the company's overall achievements.

Misauer adds, "Navigating a male-dominated industry presented its challenges, yet continuous learning, networking and a supportive environment at Redstor have been pivotal in overcoming these barriers."

"It's essential to remember that challenges mould resilience and foster growth, and with the right team and mindset, one can rise above any obstacle," adds Misauer. 

The company says that contrary to common perception, Redstor's approach to gender equality is not about favouritism. It is about ensuring diversity in decision-making. The company employs a blend of quantitative and qualitative metrics for:
  • monitoring recruitment
  • gauging employee satisfaction, and
  • evaluating the impact of the WINTribe initiative.

The goal is continually refining strategies to make inclusivity and diversity an ongoing reality.

According to Redstor, its commitment to women extends beyond its office walls. The company provides women with the resources they need to excel in their careers by:
  • participating in community initiatives
  • offering mentorship programmes that pair seasoned leaders with emerging talents
  • hosting knowledge sessions, and
  • conducting regular workshops, seminars and training sessions.

As Women's Month unfolds, Redstor conlcudes that it remains unwavering in its dedication to constructing a future where every individual, regardless of gender, is poised to achieve and contribute significantly to the collective success of the organisation.
