Modis signs on to the Male Champions of Change Microsoft Partners Group

As a Microsoft partner, we are proud to have joined the group which brings together technology business leaders who are committed to achieving gender equality in the sector, and to find innovative ways to lower entry barriers for women who are entering the tech industry. The Microsoft Partners group includes CEOs and Managing Directors of Microsoft’s largest partners who have all committed their time and investment to the group.

While gender diversity has slowly improved in the tech sector, we still have a way to go before we achieve equality. There remains an 18% gender pay gap in technology occupations and women currently make up just 29% of Australia’s technology workforce. To help address these issues the Microsoft Partners group is fast-tracking three priority areas;

1. Embedding flexibility in all workplaces, and all roles, for any reason;
2. Developing new and innovative approaches to attracting and retaining women in the tech sector, and
3. Leveraging equality and inclusion to encourage successful transformation.
