Why is Dignity an important initiative to Xero?
"We’re proud to not only be supporting young enterprising kiwi women in their strive to help young girls but also to support our own team members!" says Sarah, NZ Xero Facilities Manager
Why did Xero sign up to Dignity?
Xero Head of HR Linda Bateson said it was an easy way to give something back to the community.
"Particularly when you look at the fact that there are lots of girls not going to school because they've got their period, can't afford sanitary items and are missing out on that vital education.
"That's a big thing that we're trying to advocate for - females getting into STEM [science, technology, engineering and maths], ultimately getting into tech. And this is kind of something we could do at that grassroots level to support girls."
