Getronics, a global ICT integrator with a history of innovation that spans over 130 years, recently demonstrated their forward-thinking approach to the technology industry with the "Women in Technology" programme.
Thanks to their global presence working with clients from varying backgrounds and cultures, Getronics places significant weight on the importance of diversity and inclusion in every industry. For years, the business has been promoting equal opportunities for both employees and customers alike, and now, they feel that it's time to do more for the women in the ICT space.
While we are starting to see more women gradually make their way into technology, female ICT employees are still a minority in the sector. The new Women in Technology programme will encourage women to develop their skills and reach their full potential in the ICT world, hopefully inspiring other girls and ambitious students to do the same.
Highlighting the Importance of Gender Diversity
In a press release about the Women in Technology awards, the Global Head of Human Capital and Change for Getronics, Deborah Exell drew focus to the importance of the workforce in driving success for any business. She noted that
"diverse talent is the heart of innovation"
particularly in the technology sector. After all, the different perspectives and ideas that a wide range of people can bring to a business can be the perfect spark for creativity.
