We are passionate about helping women to advance in the IT industry by providing them with access to and support from other women working within the industry, as well as flexible working for every employee and an enhanced parental leave package. This commitment has proved hugely successful with 32% of positions at Phoenix held by women – well above the 20% industry average.
We have also begun our grassroots work by speaking in schools to highlight the roles available within the tech industry and encourage more women to consider careers in tech from an early age.
