#TechDiversity at PhoenixDX

Diversity is a core part of our culture and ethos at PhoenixDX, and we do so by supporting the #TechDiversity Foundation and taking the #TechDiversity pledge. Tipping the scales of gender diversity in the tech sector has always been a priority for us. We know there is no quick fix; however, we endeavour to contribute towards closing the gap.

#TechDiversity’s mission is to make diversity and inclusion the #1 business priority in Australia. TechDiversity is a not-for-profit alliance established in 2015 by a group of business professionals passionate about celebrating diversity and inclusion within Australia's technology workforce. Their vision is a future where ALL people are valued: empowering individuals, organisations and communities to thrive.

PhoenixDX has an incredibly diverse workforce, and as a fast-growing scale-up tech business founded on human-centred principles, we wanted to recognise and support the #TechDiversity Foundation’s fantastic work to amplify diversity awareness. They strive to achieve a culture of inclusion through education, research, conversation, and collaboration in the #TechDiversity community.

“Diversity is one of our strengths in delivering innovative custom enterprise software for our customers. It brings a variety of thinking, experiences, and culture, making our team an exclusive mix of talents. It is humbling to work with people with an incredible variety of backgrounds, and technology and diversity are at the core of who we are.”

– Pedro Carrilho, Managing Director and Founder

#TechDiversity supports increased participation of under-represented groups in the digital economy through conversation, collaboration, and action. These under-represented groups include women, people with a disability, people who recognise themselves as LGBTQI, Indigenous Australians and Torres Strait Islanders, people of colour, older people, and those who may face discrimination around their religious beliefs.

We were honoured to be awarded a Merit Certificate at the #Tech Diversity Awards for Tech for Good, Accessibility, and Inclusion for our work with Zer0hunger, ending hunger in Malaysia.
