Accelerating Action: How Onnec is Driving Change for International Women’s Day and Beyond

At Onnec, International Women’s Day isn’t just about celebration—it’s about action. This year’s theme, #AccelerateAction, perfectly aligns with our ongoing commitment to championing gender equity in the tech and construction industries. From increasing female representation in our workforce to building platforms for women to thrive, we’re proud of the progress we’ve made and even more excited for what’s ahead.

IWD Lunch & Learn: Women at Onnec Leading the Way

We marked IWD with an engaging Lunch & Learn session, hosted by our Women at Onnec Employee Resource Group in both our Dublin and London offices. The event focused on the strides we’ve made so far and our future plans to accelerate action—from mentorship initiatives to leadership development. With passionate discussions around inclusivity, career growth, and breaking barriers, it was an inspiring reminder that change starts from within.

Progress in Action

2024 was a year of growth—not just for Onnec, but for the representation of women in our workforce. Thanks to our dedicated focus on inclusive hiring, we’ve seen a 33% increase in female employees, strengthening diversity across all levels of our business. This is a direct reflection of our commitment to building a workplace where talent thrives—regardless of gender.

The Road Ahead

While we’re proud of our achievements, the work doesn’t stop here. At Onnec, we are committed to taking bold steps to accelerate gender equity—not just today, but every day.

At Onnec , we operate in a typically male-dominated industry and we strive to attract more women into the industry and to progress and accelerate the progression of female talent within our company. The good news is that the needle is starting to shift in the right direction, but we still have some way to go. This work is a continuous journey for us as we commit to making a positive impact across sustainability, equality, diversity, and the wider community.
