According to EUROSTAT data, in 2019, the proportion of female IT specialists barely exceeded 10 percent, placing us in second to last place among EU countries. SERCO is fighting to improve this discouraging statistic in its own way, with two measures.
Firstly, uniquely among domestic IT enterprises, SERCO's upper management includes two women amongst its five members. Placing these excellent professionals in managerial positions demonstrates SERCO's commitment to social equality.
The other significant step for SERCO was launching its own podcast. The IT Angels series, which started in the fall of 2021, focuses on women working in the IT sector. The podcast dedicates broad space to dispel prejudices and showcases what society can gain by providing opportunities and careers to women in the IT industry.
