Why women love working at Avanade
Diverse teams and an inclusive environment are critical to innovation and future growth. Our mission is to create an environment where employees can do their best work, and diverse perspectives spur innovation and growth for our clients and people. We are proud to be a pioneer in combining emerging technologies and human ingenuity to change things for the better and build diverse communities worldwide.
“I'm passionate about inclusion and diversity, and personally I don’t believe there is innovation without diversity. With diversity, we challenge our thinking, we have alternative thoughts and mindsets. Also, with a more diverse team around the table, we get a better product – faster.” Pam Maynard, CEO at Avanade.
As a leading digital innovator, we have both an opportunity and a responsibility to attract, engage and develop the next generation who will be at the forefront of delivering emerging technologies, and create things for the better. We understand the challenges that the technology industry faces as they relate to inclusion & diversity, and pledge to be part of the solution and at the forefront of change.
We build STEM careers earlier. We proactively cultivate interest in STEM and create new opportunities for young women and girls via our strategic partnerships and our very own 15 for 15 Scholars program. Through our employee resource groups and events such as International Women’s Day and Pride commemorations, we fully support and partner with community groups to increase interest, access, and insights regarding opportunities in technology.
