You know you love your job when it doesn't feel like a job... I've had a busy few weeks working with our amazing people that make Xpertise Recruitment what it is. Thanks to everyone who attended the Women in Tech event at Rolls-Royce and of course all the brilliant people behind the scenes that make these events a reality. The objective of the event was to start the conversation and begin to answer the question "Why not me?". Although we have seen a nudge in the right direction, there's more work to be done until see more women thriving in our technology departments. we need to do more to support women throughout their careers so they have the advocacy & development to become whatever they desire. Personally, I really enjoyed hearing from all the different perspectives in the room and it reminded me that sometimes it's the simple things we forget: 🌻 Ilker Yaman (the son, brother, husband, and father) shows how having strong personal connections with women in his life has guided his allyship at work - love this as we often forget to bring the human side of us to work 🌻 Our inspiring panel consisted of Norma Dove-Edwin, Suzanne M., Lauren Colbeck & Kristie Grinnell - all coming from different backgrounds and having exposure to different experiences made the panel discussion so relatable for the audience and gave us that representation we all need to see to know we are not alone. Such a great insight for business leaders as well so they can see what women are up against. I was honoured to be able to wrap up the day with a workshop to get us thinking from a women's perspective. The key objective for me was provide some tangible steps for participants to take back to aid them in attracting more women into their organisations, then how to develop and retain them. I won't share all of the stats again but just know having a diverse workforce really does affect the bottom line in the right direction 📈 and more importantly makes for a more enjoyable place to work.

European Women in Tech is, first and foremost, a careers event. 👩💻 And yet, after interviews with some amazing attendees, we were proud and excited by the fact that the conversation wasn't just about what the industry can do for women. 🙌 Women came away inspired by what they could do for the industry and its people, not just in terms of their engineering, but by sharing their expertise to empower others. 🚀 Read what attendees thought below, and for the full story, check out our article: https://lnkd.in/e_vQGuBF #lifeattomtom

I have a friend who is a founder. I asked her what her one key to promoting her expertise well is… Here’s what she told me: Leveraging public speaking is a game-changer! 🗣️ It’s not just about sharing knowledge but also about building your personal brand. When you speak at events, people see you as an expert in your field. This is especially crucial in the tech industry, where women are often underrepresented. At WiTVoices, we empower women in tech to become confident speakers.

🌟 Inspiring the Next Generation of Women in Technology 🌟 I had the honor of speaking to an increíble group of young women who are just starting their careers. Sharing my experiences and seeing their faces full of enthusiasm and determination reminded me of the importance of female empowerment in the tech field. Since my first day in the professional world, I’ve learned that support and mentorship can make a significant difference. My goal is to be an example and a guide for these young women, showing them that there are no limits to what we can achieve. 💪 Together, we can break barriers, overcome challenges, and reach our dreams. The next generation of women in technology is here, and it’s our responsibility to ensure they have all the tools they need to succeed. #WomenEmpowerment #Mentorship #NextGenTech #WomenInTech
