Welcome to International Women’s Day 2022, a day to celebrate women's achievements and increase visibility of women’s issues! This year, Nimdzi wants to celebrate the women-owned companies in our industry, with the help of some data from the recently published Nimdzi 100. This year, 17% of companies in the Nimdzi 100 ranking are women-owned or women-run. First, the bad news. This number has actually fallen slightly from 20% in 2021, and only a few women-run companies made it to the top 50 in our ranking this year, with just one top-20 ranked company being led by a female. Furthermore, women-led companies represent just 6.1% of the total revenue generated by Nimdzi’s top 100 LSPs. It’s not all bad though! Based on these figures, our industry still outperforms many others — just 8.2% of all Fortune 500 companies were women-owned in 2021. There are also several exciting announcements coming soon, which will see more women take on leadership positions in a number of companies, even if not directly in the CEO seat. There is still progress to be made, but it’s important to congratulate our female CEOs on their achievements and recognize those in the industry who are already pushing forward, paving the way for others. As Supertext’s CEO, Kristy Sakai, says: “Highlighting women in leadership is important for visibility and encouragement. We need to shape company culture and structure to inspire all women with ideas and skills to come forward and take on leadership roles.” Nimdzi would like to especially mention the achievements of Translation Bureau’s Lucie Séguin. For the second year running, Lucie is the only female CEO of a Nimdzi top 20-ranked company, and the only woman to lead an LSP with revenues above USD 150 million. Here is what Lucie shared with us, "There is something that is both challenging and exciting about being part of the language sector in this day and age. With a worldwide audience a mere click away, it has never been easier to communicate… yet being heard has never been more difficult! It is an endeavour that requires skill and thoughtfulness, and I believe that women have had and will continue to have a very special impact in showing the way forward as leaders for continued awareness of—and respect for—the diversity of our audience and the need for tailored messaging. Of course, representation in leadership roles is just one way of measuring the success of women in business. There are other valuable measures such as wage equality or gender stereotypes that unfortunately fall outside the limits of our research this year. We hope to be able to offer an even more holistic picture of the industry next year. With any luck, we will also be reporting on even more female-led companies in 2022! Only time will tell.
欢迎来到2022国际妇女节,一个庆祝女性的成就和提高关于女性问题知名度的日子!今年,Nimdzi希望借助最近发布的Nimdzi 100的一些数据来庆祝我们行业中女性拥有的公司。 今年,在Nimdzi 100排名中,有17%的公司是由女性拥有或是女性经营的。 先说坏消息。这一数字实际上比2021年的20%有些许下降,只有少数女性经营的公司在今年的排名中进入前50名,排名前20的公司中只有一家是由女性经营的。而且,女性领导的公司仅占Nimdzi的前100家有限责任公司总收入的6.1%。 还是有好事存在的!基于这些数字,我们的行业仍然胜过其他许多行业——2021年,财富500强企业中只有8.2%是女性全权主导。还有几个令人兴奋的公告即将发布,即使女性不是直接担任CEO,但会有更多的女性在一些公司担任领导职位。 我们仍有待提升,但重要的是要庆祝我们的女性CEO们取得的成就,并认可那些在这个行业中已经在不断努力奋进的人在为其他人铺平道路。正如超文本的首席执行官克里斯蒂酒井说:“突出妇女的领导地位对于提高知名度和鼓励作用很重要。我们需要塑造公司文化和结构以激励所有有想法和技能的女性能够出现并且担任领导角色。” 执行官尼姆齐想特别提到翻译局的露西·塞金女士所取得的成就。露西女士是Nimdzi持续二年排名前20位的公司的唯一女性首席执行官,也是唯一一位收入超过1.5亿美元的LSP首席执行官。露西女士和我们分享了这样的观点:“在现在这个时代,能够成为语言领域的一员是既具有挑战性,同时又是令人兴奋的。全世界的观众只需轻轻点一下,沟通就变得前所未有的容易,但被倾听是变得越来越困难了!被倾听是需要技巧和深思熟虑的努力才行的,我相信,女性已经成功并将继续发挥非常特殊的影响,作为领导者,将会持续关注并尊重我们的受众多样性和对定制信息的需求。 当然,担任领导职务的代表人数只是衡量妇女在企业中成功与否的一种方式。还有其他有价值的措施,比如工资平等或在性别上的定性观念,不幸地超出了我们今年的研究范围。我们希望明年能对该行业提供更全面的了解。幸运的话,我们还将继续报道2022年更多女性领导的公司!时间将会告诉我们。
