The Full Picture podcast - I don’t want to be seen as a token

Category: Wellbeing (Financial/Mental/Physical)

Gender Focus

This week we talk with three women of Colt, who share the experiences they've had in their careers that shaped the women they are today. Jeme, Helen and Shweta reflect on the shifting perceptions of women in the workplace, the frustrations of tokenism and the importance of taking risks.

LISTEN HERE.

About the Full Picture

The Full Picture is a new podcast from Colt Technology Services combining individual stories and expert opinions to make sense of the world around us. Our first season is all around inclusion and diversity: why is it important? What do I&D statistics actually mean? And, most importantly, what should companies be doing about it?

We have launched a podcast that blends personal stories from our Colties, their own experiences and unique perspectives, along with the views and insights from experts within our industry and beyond. Episodes will focus in on topics that mean something to our people and the workforces of other organisations such as mental health, neurodiversity in tech, changing conversations about race, to name a few.

The podcast will deep dive and get to the heart of some of the topics that we’re all thinking about as we edge closer to the end of 2020, an unprecedented year where we’ve all to dig a bit deeper and think about what drives us.
