Partnership objectives

To provide meaningful support for their emerging female tech leaders through a customised program to empower their advancement plus providing people leaders inclusive leadership training. Standards Australia also looked to ensure their hiring processes are inclusive through engaging TDC to conduct an Inclusive Hiring Audit.

The solution

Our proposed solution was to create a 3-step road map:

1- Designed an Emerging Leaders in Tech Program to provide meaningful development opportunities for their emerging high-potential female talent, empowering & equipping them to become leaders of influence & impact to own and drive their career aspirations within Standards Australia.

2- Perform an Inclusive Hiring Audit to allow for an in-depth review and analysis of their end to end recruitment process to remove barriers to inclusion and enhance the inclusivity of their hiring process.

3- Design an Inclusive Leadership Workshop series to guide people leaders from awareness through to action on how to be an inclusive leader, providing tangible ways in which they can become more impactful leaders within the organisation.

They were great - we initially brought them on to support our women in IT program only, however we ended up signing them up for inclusive leadership and hiring projects. Our WIT participants gained insights into their strengths and vision for the future. We really enjoyed working with TDC and will definitely recommend them!

Audit Manager, HILTI
I am really grateful that I got the opportunity to join this program. The most important take-away I have from this program is that I have a different way of evaluating myself, which in turns makes me more confident in who I am. It is also great to know that I am not alone in this journey and that I am sharing the same path with so many like minded young women out there.

Thank you for another wonderful workshop! The energy was inspirational, and you could feel the leadership confidence in the room growing and growing. Always awesome to work with TDC Global as we strive to make a more inclusive environment that ensures anyone from any background can thrive and succeed.

After each of the sessions, we ran the post-program survey and we saw a clear impact with the increase in understanding and confidence levels of diversity, equity, inclusion, and allyship. The participants were highly engaged and we saw them being very brave, open and vulnerable. Finally, being able to have those conversations in the team has also fostered greater connections, which we can feel ever since the workshop.

TDC Global brought our vision to life and worked consistently to maximise its success. It has been an incredible partnership and we are so appreciative of the tremendous work that they have consistently put in. Every team member has supported our mission with so much enthusiasm and it’s been a true pleasure to work with them. We are very proud of the impact that we have been able to achieve through SheDares and the number of women that we have reached and inspired to consider a career in technology, and provide them with pathways to entry. We look forward to continuing to drive impact together in the future.
