Innovation demands diversity, and SIX knows this very well! TechFace was proud to partner up with them to make it happen. 🚀 Through a carefully curated Career Speed Networking offer, we enabled promising female tech talents to connect with leaders at SIX, fostering future career growth and retention of valuable talent. How did we approach it? 1. Career Workshop: We created a customised workshop for talents to understand how to apply personal branding and strategic networking with hands-on tools and career growth advice. 2. Leaders Preparation: We helped leaders to present themselves authentically, addressing unconscious biases that could impact their judgment. 3. Speed Networking: We provided expert insights on how to lead speed networking events to ensure the best results for all participants. The impact? Empowered talent pursuing careers more confidently and leaders who are able to build more diverse and inclusive teams. With this approach, we enabled SIX to: ✅ Strengthen internal mobility ✅ Boost employee engagement ✅ Lower recruitment costs Read the full business case - link in the comments! 👉🏼 Want to create real change?
