HiQ in partnership with Women in Tech Sweden 2024
For the third consecutive year, HiQ partners with Women in Tech, contributing to the journey towards a more gender-equal tech industry. The partnership extends throughout 2024 and includes participation in the #WITswe2024 conference on April 17.
"It’s a natural decision to continue our collaboration with Women in Tech Sweden. The partnership provides us with a platform to collectively contribute to an even more inclusive industry and, not least, to continue discussing and evolving in our gender equality efforts. Undoubtedly, we must actively work to reach and be attractive to all candidates in the market, regardless of background, gender, or age. This is not only crucial from the important perspective of inclusion but a crucial competence supply issue," says Samuel Skott, CEO of HiQ.
"Continuing to recruit and retain more women remains a key priority for HiQ, and our diversity and gender equality efforts are ongoing. As part of a rapidly growing tech industry employing many talents, especially young graduates, we have a vital role in raising awareness and educating for the right actions every day in our various processes and decisions. This is how we can create sustainable change," says Helena Herolf, Chief People Officer at HiQ.
Women in Tech aims to inspire women to choose a career in technology and retain those already active in the industry by providing networks, role models, inspiration, and experiences from business, entrepreneurship, academia, and science. What began as an annual event has evolved into not only the largest tech conference in Scandinavia but also a platform and a movement with over 20,000 members of various genders.
”It's so important that we do this together. Working towards prioritizing efforts to create teams with greater diversity. Because we know it helps us develop better and smarter services and products. That's why we're so pleased that HiQ is with us for the third year in our shared journey towards a more inclusive industry, says Åsa Johansen, Director of Women in Tech.
The Women in Tech conference will take place at Stockholm Waterfront Congress Center on April 17, themed Connect, Create, Innovate: Crafting Tech with Human Essence, aiming to reflect the collaborative and innovative aspects of tech and highlighting how every byte of code can carry traces of human essence.
