Com­ments from the pre­vi­ous win­ner, Timegate Instru­ments:

“Timegate Instru­ments has embraced inter­na­tion­al­ism and main­tained an open-mind­ed approach toward its diverse work­force from the ear­ly days of its busi­ness. This com­mit­ment to diver­si­ty is ingrained in the com­pa­ny’s cul­ture, as its staff orig­i­nates from six dif­fer­ent nation­al­i­ties. This inter­na­tion­al­ism is evi­dent in the day-to-day oper­a­tions of Timegate, where employ­ees employ diverse prob­lem-solv­ing approach­es, gen­er­ate inno­v­a­tive ideas, and sup­port one anoth­er based on their know-how and experiences result­ing in more effi­cient oper­a­tional per­for­mance. More­over, the Timegate office is filled with a vari­ety of lan­guages, adding to the diver­si­ty of its cul­tur­al envi­ron­ment.”
