YANDIKI
Yandiki's technology has empowered women
from around the world by providing them
with access to work that allows for location
and schedule flexibility. For instance, Yandiki
is partnering with the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia to allow +250K previously unemployed
women to join the workforce through an online
employment program called TeleworkSaudi.
In Saudi Arabia, many women are unable to
work in gender-mixed environments; therefore,
Yandiki´s technology will make it possible
for these women to become financially
independent by working remotely from home in
accordance with their local customs.
According to recent studies, 43% of women
in the US that have children leave their jobs
because they find it difficult to balance
their responsibilities at work and at home.
Additionally, the impact of closing the gender
employment gap in the US is $4 trillion
according to a study released by McKinsey &
Company, while the impact of closing this gap
globally is $17 trillion according to the United
Nations.
To address these issues, Silvina has since
launched SheWorks!, a global platform
that leverages TransparentBusiness.com,
the technology platform behind Yandiki, to
facilitate women's access to remote, flexible job
opportunities through its cloud-based platform.
Additionally, SheWorks! is partnering with
Endeavor Colombia portfolio company, Platzi,
on a project to empower women and generate
economic impact in Central America that will
be sponsored by the Multilateral Investment
Fund (MIF) and the InterAmerican Development
Bank (IADB).
Women account for 51% of the 639 vetted
professionals on Yandiki's platform and 63% of
the talent working on ongoing job assignments.
