SAS has a multi-dimensional culture that blends our different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives.
We want everyone to feel confident in expressing their ideas and know that they will be respected for their unique contributions and abilities. SAS recognises the importance of having different types of people on teams and harnesses this power of diversity to access a wider range of skills and talent, to help them work more effectively. SAS employees all have different skills to suit their roles within the business, but everyone shares a passion for how SAS can transform the world of our customers and that of the wider community through data and analytics.
We believe a diverse workforce brings unique talents and inspires teams to create software that can change the world. Great minds don’t always think alike, so we make it a priority to promote an environment where varied perspectives are encouraged. Big ideas ignite when everyone is treated with fairness and respect.
According to the Harvard Business Review, 52% of women in STEM leave the field and never come back. SAS is committed to changing mindsets.
SAS is an Equal Opportunity Employer and hires people based on their skills. SAS offers training and advancement to all employees, often promoting people from within the company and encourages employees to move between business units throughout their careers. There is female representation across all business units with women employed in positions ranging from Graduates to Senior Vice Presidents with representation on the Executive Board.
SAS is also recognized as a Best Workplace for Women by Fortune magazine. Commitment to employees – and their families – is part of the reason that women make up nearly half of the SAS workforce and more than 40 percent of leadership. A pioneer in workplace culture for more than 40 years, SAS has set the standard by fostering an environment that helps employees balance their careers and personal lives. Also, the Women’s Initiative Network (WIN) is a strong community of SAS employees who empower, encourage and inspire women to pursue excellence in their careers and fulfilment in their personal lives. Members act as ambassadors for SAS and STEM careers, sharing time and expertise to develop leadership capabilities among female employees, expand professional networks, showcase thought leaders and attract women to careers in science and technology.
