WORKPLACE CULTURE
Committed to investing in its culture , Montgomery describes it as ‘ authentic ’. “ Advocating for yourself is important – but so is advocating for each other ,” she says .
She adds : “ One of the first things that we have to do to foster culture and support women is create programmes to recognise that there is inequality . This often starts with highlighting the different ways that people contribute to the company . There are many paths to STEM ( science , technology , engineering , and mathematics ) and overlooking some in favour of others is detrimental to employees following different paths .
“ Spreading opportunities around isn ’ t as simple as promoting women up the corporate ladder . And it doesn ’ t happen by accident . It ' s really about working hard to nurture talent and keep doors open when someone says , ‘ Hey , that interests me ’.”
“ We believe in using forward-thinking technology solutions to improve transparency of care , reduce social isolation , and improve engagement - really harnessing the power of technology to foster connection between clients , caregivers , and family members ,” says Montgomery .
She adds : “ Human problems require human-catered solutions , so it is important that our partnerships are considering the needs of all users and our clients are at the heart of everything we do .”
