The 2024 UK’s Best Workplaces for Women List is made up of employers whose people have provided feedback to Great Place to Work UK. TD SYNNEX has been ranked 15th in the super large category, earning its place as a result of responses to an annual employee engagement survey, which measured how co-workers feel about the company’s culture and their workplace experiences. Jodie Carroll, Senior Director, Human Resources, UK and Ireland, TD SYNNEX, said: “Being listed as one of 2024 UK’s Best Workplaces for Women is a testimony to our commitment and determination to ensure that women have an equal opportunity to develop and thrive at TD SYNNEX in the UK. “We’ve made positive changes in our HR and recruitment policies and we are inspiring women to believe in themselves, apply for management and technical roles, and aim high with their ambitions. We will continue to make further improvements to our gender balance particularly at senior levels which will in turn positively impact our gender pay gap further and we encourage other companies in our industry to do the same.” https://uk.tdsynnex.com PRINTITRESELLER.UK 7 Westcoast to merge with ALSO Westcoast has entered into a strategic partnership with ALSO, a leading player in the ICT industry.
