Toronto, May 21st, 2019. Women in Communications and Technology (WCT) today announce the launch of their partnership with Symcor Inc. to support women's engagement in the digital transformation of Canadian industries.
Since 1991, WCT has been working with organizations to promote diversity and develop their strategies to advance women, advocating for inclusion and equality at all levels of information, communications, media and technology companies.
Symcor is one of Canada’s largest providers of business and payments processing services. Symcor supports multiple industry verticals including financial services, insurance, retail and telecommunications. We are connecting for common good to create richer outcomes for industry partners by aggregating data, insight, experience and operational excellence.
“Traditional businesses across Canada are digitizing their processes and services to everyday Canadians says Joanne Stanley, Executive Director of WCT. “It is critical that women are represented as leaders and contributors in the digitization of services to ensure innovations reflect the population they serve.”
WCT partners with a variety of organizations in Canada’s knowledge-based economy. Symcor is joining forces with fintech, broadcast and media, and cloud computing firms in the fight to close the gender gap in Canada.
“The philosophy of diversity and inclusion is ingrained in our culture and values” says Chameli Naraine, President and CEO of Symcor. “In a continuously evolving market place in the 21st century, we are partnering with WCT to access the diverse talent that will continue to give us a competitive edge.”
In addition to accessing WCT’s large network of professional women across Canada, Symcor will get access to WCT’s best practices in hiring and retaining a diverse, skilled workforce, enabling the company to further enable diversity and inclusion company-wide.
