T-Systems South Africa
T-Systems South Africa was recognized for the fifth time for its diversity achievements in August 2014 with the „Gender Mainstreaming Awards“. It received first place in the following categories: Women on Board, Gender and Poverty Alleviation and Investing in Young Women. It won second place for its efforts to improve the role of women. In addition to its success in four of the five categories reviewed, T-Systems South Africa also won the Gender Mainstreaming overall award.
We were particularly pleased to be recognized for T-Systems' volunteer efforts to get more women into management positions. Three of T-Systems South Africa's five-member Managing Board have been women since February 1, 2014. Winning the Gender and Poverty Alleviation Award is also a special achievement. The award recognizes excellent efforts to fight poverty with particular emphasis on supporting and encouraging women. By presenting the award to T-Systems South Africa, the jury recognized the company's participation in establishing the Hazyview Digital Learning Centre (HDLC) in Mpumalanga. The center is mostly visited and operated by women and teaches students from the region key skills in areas such as IT, tourism and English.
