WISE Member

At Synoptix we’re committed to making our workplace and wider industry a diverse and inclusive environment.

As part of our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI), we became a member of WISE to seek their expert guidance on how to tackle the gender gap within our industry.

WISE is an EDI organisation that specifically focuses on gender equity in STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths). They offer women-centred support for organisations embarking on their EDI journey, looking at how to improve policies, processes and culture within the workplace to improve gender equality.

We have exclusive access to their online and in-person events, as well as tools and support needed to help us achieve an inclusive workplace.

We have an internal network for female employees and male allies to connect. We hold monthly meetings where we brainstorm ideas of changes, awareness sessions or to plan or attend any upcoming events for women in STEM. We also hold in-person catch-ups over lunch to allow members to meet in a more relaxed setting.

Corporate Social Responsibility represents our role as a company within the wider community outside of our day-to-day work. This includes how we can improve the company inwards as well as outward facing to our customers, suppliers and the public.

When taking career breaks STEM professionals can find the process of returning to work challenging.  More specifically Women, who feel that a lack of flexibility in working hours is a barrier to return.  At Synoptix we promote an inclusive work environment and aim to support and empower professionals in regaining their confidence as they return to work.
