Reflecting on International Women's Day 2024 

As we approach IWD 2024, I’ve taken the time this week to reflect on my journey with REGnosys since joining almost a year ago. It’s been a time of tremendous growth and learning which has been underpinned by REGnosys’ steadfast commitment to Diversity, Equality & Inclusion (DEI). 

Part of my mandate as HR Manager is to advance REGnosys’ DEI goals. Before I had even started, Leo, Minesh and other senior figures reiterated the importance of upcoming DEI initiatives and how significant they were in fulfilling the company’s vision and growth. 

Fostering equality in the workplace has numerous benefits, including accessing a wider talent pool, gaining insights from diverse perspectives, fostering better collaboration, and improving employee retention. Ultimately a more positive and open-minded working environment drives better business performance.

Since joining REGnosys, I’ve been directly involved in several significant steps toward gender equality. Having started 2023 with just 11% women’s representation in our workforce, we have significantly improved this number, entering 2024 with 38% women’s representation. This stemmed from the company’s collective commitment to nurturing change within our leadership and throughout our entire team. 

Meaningful progress requires more than just good intentions. That's why we've invested in creating a more inclusive environment by revamping and introducing various policies and initiatives. We now offer remote working for up to 1 month of the year, flexible working options to accommodate various circumstances, 5-day holiday carryover, and Pick n Mix Bank Holidays, which allows for flexibility and cultural inclusivity. 

We’ve also refined our recruitment process and made changes from the job specification to the technical assessments, candidate evaluation, and onboarding. Every step has been taken to amplify and value diverse voices in our hiring process. 

Our journey doesn't stop within the walls of REGnosys. We've forged partnerships with social enterprises Next Tech Girls and Wise Campaign, extending our support to empower women in STEM fields and beyond. Partnering with these initiatives furthers our commitment to DEI by giving us the tools to measure and improve equality and inclusivity in the workplace.
