The Women in Tech Excellence Awards take place in London next week and serve as a fantastic opportunity for enterprises to share ideas for some of the initiatives they have taken to create an inclusive culture for their employees, and build a more diverse organisation.
In addition to being represented in the Hero of the Year, Innovator of the Year and Outstanding Transformation categories, NatWest Group are also finalists in the Diversity and Inclusion Initiative of the year category,
Jenny Wood, Chief Operating Officer of NatWest explains why the bank supports the Women in Technology Excellence awards, as well as greater diversity in the industry more generally.
"Diversity of thought is critical for creating new, innovative solutions and opportunities for customers and colleagues to have better experiences as they interact," she commented.
"To do that we need to increase the number of women in technology, and we need women to be able to see that they can have a career that is going to be exciting and that's going to be challenging. And that they can succeed in within technology."
Computing thanks NatWest for their sponsorship of the Women in Tech Excellence Awards which take place on 22nd November. Congratulations to all of our finalists. It promises to be a spectacular evening!
