To support the professional development of its female employees, Hepsiburada has launched Hepsinspire, a platform offering various mentorship opportunities and career development programs. Through Hepsinspire, female employees and engineers receive leadership training, encouraging them to enhance their skills. As part of this initiative, female employees have accumulated a total of 1,285 hours of training by June 2024.

The increased presence of female engineers is not only crucial for gender parity but also brings diverse perspectives and innovative solutions to the table.
Hepsiburada's goal to boost the proportion of female engineers to 50% could serve as an inspiration for other technology and e-commerce companies in Turkey. Supporting female engineers and ensuring their increased representation in the workforce can enhance overall industry success and innovation. Collaboration and knowledge-sharing among companies can also play a vital role in achieving this objective.
The target set by Hepsiburada to increase the female engineer ratio to 50% is expected to positively impact both the company’s work culture and the broader industry dynamics. Such efforts can motivate more women to pursue careers in engineering and encourage young women to seek education in this field.
