At Viatel Technology Group, inspired by our core value of “We Care Deeply,” we strive to create an environment where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential. We are proud to report a Gender Pay Gap of just 3.3% in 2024—significantly below national and EU averages. 

This positive outcome is a testament to our ongoing efforts to ensure an equitable and rewarding workplace. We believe that a diverse and inclusive workforce is essential for our long-term success. By valuing and embracing our differences, we can create a more innovative, resilient, and equitable organisation. – Paul Rellis, CEO, Viatel Technology Group.

Highlights from 2024  

• Inclusio Partnership: Viatel invested in Inclusio, a science-based diversity platform, revealing encouraging insights about our workforce. Among our 330 employees, 31 nationalities and four generations work side by side, enriching our team with diverse perspectives. 

• Improved Benefits: We enhanced leave policies and expanded our pension programme, helping to bridge traditional gender disparities in benefits. 

• Celebrating Women in Technology: Our first International Women’s Day event, “The Women in the Room: Inclusive Workplaces in 2024,” provided a platform for dialogue and support, in partnership with Connecting Women in Technology (CWiT). 

• Hybrid Working: Flexible working options continue to support work-life balance for all employees. 

Mind the Gap: Action Plan 

We acknowledge that attracting and retaining female talent in technology is a challenge. While our progress may not always be linear, or as rapid as we would like, we remain dedicated to achieving our goals. – Paul Rellis, CEO, Viatel Technology Group.

Our action plan focuses on: 

• Enhancing recruitment processes with a diversity lens. 

• Supporting employee wellbeing through improved benefits. 

• Strengthening our DEI initiatives with organisations like the 30% Club and CWiT. 

Looking ahead, we remain dedicated to reducing barriers, championing gender equity, and building an innovative, inclusive workplace for the long term.
