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.”
