OurPass initiated a hiring mandate, this year, giving preference to qualified female candidates in all open roles at OurPass. As a result, we are welcoming 3 outstanding women alongside other equally qualified men to our rapidly growing team. We recognize that to reach our goal of a 50/50 gender balance, we're going to need to do much more and prioritize empowering women. OurPass continues to strive for a team that reflects the diversity of our community and we recognise that there is always room for improvement.
