Rockwell Automation recognised for dedication to equality by Society for Women Engineers

Rockwell Automation has been awarded the Diversity and Inclusion Programme Award by the Society for Women Engineers (SWE) - the world's largest organisation advocating for further inclusivity for women in the STEM fields - an area they are still greatly underrepresented in.

Rockwell claims the award shows their dedication to encouraging all workers to bring authenticity to their roles as well as setting an example for other companies to follow.

They are to collect the award at the SWE's annual convention, WE20, due to be held virtually from November 3-14.

Blake Moret, chairman and CEO of Rockwell, said: "It is an honour to be recognised by the Society of Women Engineers. We believe in the value of diversity because diverse teams make better decisions. We know that having a competitive advantage in industry and talent means fostering an environment where all employees can and want to do their best work."

The award recognises Rockwell's "culture of inclusion" and continued dedication to showing that engineering can be a viable and fulfilling career choice for women of any background.

Michele Matthai, director for Culture of Inclusion and Diversity at Rockwell Automation, said: "We are always striving to better understand and remove barriers to full inclusion that may exist in our processes, procedures and everyday interactions.

"The SWE's recognition is a testament to our commitment to creating a more inclusive culture within our company - and across our industry."
