Computacenter is passionate about encouraging more young women to join our industry and supporting our women employees to reach their goals and role model the possibilities for future generations. In support of this. we have developed specialist personal and leadership development opportunities. Our Growing Together programme supports this for our mid-level women employees. The program focuses on networking, engagement, and education. Over 130 women employees have participated in this programme so far, and further cohorts are already planned for 2023. Our Leading Together programme, supporting our most senior women (those that operate at two levels below the Group Executive) from across North America, United Kingdom, France, and Germany, saw a cohort of 11 participants in 2022.

Accelerating Female Leadership
In 2018, Computacenter launched its first-of-its-kind program to mentor and accelerate the careers of talented women within the business: Growing Together. Founded and chaired by Karen McInerney, Group Financial Controller, winner of the CRN Executive Mentor of the Year 2019, the program has been an outstanding success. Our vision is clear, we want to have a strong and confident pipeline of female talent who are empowered and equipped to play a significant role in the leadership of our business. The program focuses on networking, engagement, and education, whereby guest speakers, executive sponsors, participants, and business leaders can work together to build upon on the next generation of female leaders within our business.
