Women's Forum
The BCS Women's Forum isn't just for women. The forum is about stimulating dialogue and discussion about the policies and practices in IT and using them to make IT a place that is inclusive.
Why a Forum on women?
Year by year as the IT industry evolves and grows women make up a smaller percentage of the workforce and pay gaps between men and women persist. As the search for talent intensifies companies need ever more creative individuals, communicators and talented team players. It needs men and women.
BCS is committed to building and sustaining a professional and inclusive IT profession. The BCS Women's Forum is a focal point for discussion to inform policies and action across the sector and will help to share knowledge from the BCSWomen SG with a wider community to help build inclusive workplace and training cultures.
The Forum has a strategic panel to help shape the work programme, to raise awareness of the need for action and to build an inclusive IT profession that is better for women and as good for men.
