Last night we had the pleasure of co-hosting a Women in Tech event around AI & Leadership in partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and their Cloud Women community. Those in attendance were treated to Keynotes from our Global CIO Janet Robertson and Chief Data Officer Miriam Vizvary, before Peter Morgan's session "All About AI" and Leila Singh's on "Leadership & Career Development". The event closed with a panel discussion led by Menaka S. with Lisa Woodall, Fiona Llewellyn, Claudia Avila, Martin Price around the challenges in attracting, developing and retaining female talent in technology. It was an incredible evening full of great conversations, networking and discussions. Thank you to everybody who attended and participated both in-person and virtually. #WomenInTech #AI #AWS #WeAreRS

In celebration of National Foodbank Day, we’d like to give a big shoutout to those at RS Integrated Supply for their unwavering support of their local food bank in Warrington, UK. Since 2017, every Christmas, our colleagues at RS Integrated Supply have made it a tradition to deliver their largest donation of the year. In the photos below, you can see many of the team who helped collect and transport last year’s Christmas contributions. 🚛 🙌 Reflecting on their support for the Warrington food bank, RS Integrated Supply shared, "It makes a huge difference to families in our local community impacted by the cost-of-living crisis." This incredible effort shows how, by coming together as #OneTeam and choosing to #DoTheRightThing, we can truly make a positive impact. ❤️ #WeAreRS #NationalFoodbankDay #OurPeople #MakingAmazingHappen #RSIntegratedSupply

Emma Botfield is our VP of Strategy Delivery & Execution and has been with the business for over decade. We caught up with her to discuss her time at RS so far and to find out more about her role. Q1. Hi Emma, what does a typical day look like for you? Emma: "My day always begins at 6am with a 4-5 mile walk. Come rain or shine this routine really helps to clear my head and set me up for the day. I am disciplined with my time, so also ensure that I build reflection time into my diary and prep time for meetings. "Every day will consist of various meetings, whether that is Ambition Exchanges with my team or working on the Process Harmonisation Roadmap to help us to move to Operational and Process Excellence. A lot of my day is spent listening and understanding the 'blockers and barriers' and how we can remove them more quickly to enable the execution of our strategy." Q2. What is your favourite thing about working at RS? Emma: "People, people, people. My colleagues are just the best, an ear to listen to and share problems to find solutions, a chat and understand their world and everyone wants to help and support and are so proud of our business." Q3. And do you have any stand out memories of your 10 years with RS? Emma: "Now that is hard, as there are so many. Leading the UK&I and owning the UK&I Conference has to be up there. It was a key opportunity to ensure everyone understood their role in delivering our strategy, how important every role is within our organisation and then celebrating success with the RS Making Amazing Happen Awards." #RSLife #OurPeople #Strategy #WeAreRS

Easing back into work after a holiday can be crucial for a smooth transition. ✅ 👉 Start by scheduling a buffer day to address personal tasks and settle in before diving into work. 👉 On your first day back, ease into your workload by tackling essential emails and reconnecting with colleagues. 👉 Strategically catch up on missed updates and prioritize urgent tasks. 👉 Reflect on your holiday to identify relaxation strategies you can incorporate into your routine, and set new, realistic goals inspired by your refreshed perspective. 👉 Finally, maintain your work-life balance by continuing self-care practices and considering flexible scheduling to gradually return to your full workload. We hope you’ve all had an amazing summer! Let us know if you have any other tips. 🙌 ☀️ 😎 #WeAreRS #WellbeingWednesday #SummerHolidays

Taking the leap for a great cause—skydiving to make a difference! ✈️ 👏 Laura shared, "When I signed up to skydive, I felt a mix of excitement and nerves. I'd always wanted to confront my fears by jumping out of a plane, but the idea still seemed a bit daunting." She continued, "After months of promoting my Just Giving page, I was thrilled to raise £700 for The Washing Machine Project by the time the jump day arrived. The incredible support from friends, family, and colleagues really helped calm my nerves." Reflecting on the experience, Laura said, "Landing back on solid ground, I felt an immense sense of accomplishment and relief. Not only had I faced one of my greatest fears, but I'd also raised funds for a fantastic cause and experienced something unforgettable. I'm proud to have contributed to TWMP and grateful for the support that made this journey possible." Well done Laura! 🙌 #OurPeople #MakingAmazingHappen #ForABetterWorld #DoTheRightThing #TWMP

Emmanuel A. is a Civil Engineer and the Founder of The Fest Hub. We are extremely proud to have included him in our REflect Top 24 Role Models for 2024 list. Q1. What is your greatest achievement in your career? Emmanuel: "The greatest achievement of my career to date was The Fest Hub receiving an award for 'the best social value' project of the year from the association for consultancy and engineering awards 2023 as well as winning the Ramboll Global EDI & Culture Champion awards for 2022." Q2. Who or what inspires you in your work? Emmanuel: “The job satisfaction working in engineering is great, working on projects and seeing them come to life after they have been built is an amazing feeling, knowing that you played a part in the development. It gives you the ability to make real life changes that positively impact people's lives.” Please provide one piece of advice for future global ethnic-majority engineers. Emmanuel: “Piece of advice... Find out as much information as you can about your choice of career and how it could look like. Whilst on the job, learn as much as you can and don't be afraid to ask questions! There is no such thing as a stupid question!” The Top 24 for 2024 list was produced in partnership with the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and Association for Black and Minority Ethnic Engineers (AFBE-UK). #GEMinSTEM #REflect #STEM #CivilEngineer
