We’re helping those who work in the health service to connect with patients and each other; schools, colleges and universities to teach in even the most challenging of times
We’re helping businesses of all shapes and size to connect with their employees and customers in new ways, providing people with access to the digital skills they need and connecting the most remote parts of the world – whether through 5G, or otherwise.We tackle whatever challenges come our way
We have each other’s backs, we recognize our accomplishments, and we grow together
We celebrate and support one another – from big and small things in life to big career moments
And giving back is in our DNA (we get 10 days off each year to do just that).We know that powering an inclusive future starts with us
Because without diversity and a dedication to equality, there is no moving forward
Our 30 Inclusive Communities, that bring people together around commonalities or passions, are leading the way
Together we’re committed to learning, listening, caring for our communities, whilst supporting the most vulnerable with a collective effort to make this world a better place either with technology, or through our actions.So, you have colorful hair? Don’t care
