I have been invited to Judge at the UK Employee Experience Awards in London where I will be representing Stipendium in judging how companies have applied innovation and thought-leadership in adapting their work environments to employees.
I am a huge believer in incorporating tech that enables employees to redeem codes that give them access to tools and services that will make their lives easier and enable them to tackle major life events, such as buying a home, more time efficiently and cost-effectively.
In addition, I am a champion of women in tech, I am now a Founding Member of the Women in Tech Network and will be speaking at a roundtable on 07 June.
