PARTICIPATING COMPANIES

About Ludo


Ludo is more than just a tech company—it’s a mission-driven organization focused on championing female talent in the workforce. As a dedicated provider of tech for inclusion, Ludo actively works to close the gender pay gap, supporting and educating HR departments in the process. Our core offering is a SaaS platform that includes innovative solutions such as Ludo Maternity and Ludo Menopause, with more modules in the pipeline.

Our name, Ludo, reflects our approach and philosophy. Ludo is a game where four teams, each with four players, embark on a journey around a board. Each player may face setbacks, such as being sent back to the start, but the goal remains clear: to reach the center of the board. All the teams share this common goal, and success depends on the resilience, diversity, and unity of each team. In Latin, Ludo means 'to play', encapsulating our belief in the power of engagement and teamwork.

At Ludo HQ, we see this game as a metaphor for an organization. We recognize that setbacks happen, but resilience, diversity, and shared objectives drive us forward. Imogen Short, one of our key influencers, emphasizes the hero's journey as vital to employee engagement. "Employees are not bystanders in a company's story," she says. "They are the living, breathing heroes at the center of the journey."

Just like in the game of Ludo, every team member in an organization plays a vital role, and their dreams and goals matter. We're here to provide the right tools, resources, and support to ensure everyone's journey towards the shared objective is as smooth and successful as possible. Together, we can foster the right culture and strategy for achieving equity in the workforce.
