Capacity Middle East Datacloud Middle East

Diversity is more than a buzzword in the digital infrastructure industry—it’s essential for building a truly representative workforce. As skills gaps widen, inclusive workforce strategies are becoming essential to attracting, retaining, and developing talent across the industry. 

In this session, we will explore: 

  • What are the current barriers to entry for diverse talent and career advancement, including early-career professionals, parents returning to work, and non-traditional candidates? 

  • With the rise of RTO (return-to-office) mandates, how can companies create policies and cultures that support diversity through flexible, remote, and hybrid working models, and drive long-term retention? 

  • How are diverse talent pools and new pathways into the workforce helping to address critical skills gaps in the industry?
