Level 3's Women in Technology Thought Leadership
- Diversity Is a Journey, Not a Destination. When
enterprises speak about diversity, the conversation often revolves
around an end goal, a particular stat or percentage related to the
workforce or an idea of what the company should look like. However,
diversity by its own definition is the state of being diverse; and
includes a range of different things. In this blog, Mary Beth McGrath, SVP of Global Talent
Management, explains why diversity is not a destination.
- Women Thought Leaders Share Insights on Digital
Transformation. No industry is immune to the pressures
arising from the digital economy –from healthcare and retail to the
government, businesses and organizations are in the midst of a
transformation that is putting extraordinary pressure on IT
resources to deliver a differentiated customer experience. This
playlist includes perspectives from thought leaders across Level 3
on how industries are adapting.
- The Faces of Cybersecurity are Changing. Despite
the common portrayal we see in television and movies, there's no
one-size-fits-all in cybersecurity. Level 3's women leaders reflect
a more realistic image of the cybersecurity space in these videos –
and emphasize the importance of diversity in bridging the tech
skills gap.
