    Testronic Wins TIGA Diversity Award

    By Kevin Slagle | Award, Diversity, FQA, Functionality QA, Games, Localisation QA, QA, Staff Development, Testronic News | 0 comment | 2 November, 2018 | 19

    2018 has proved to be a great year for the Testronic Games team. After celebrating a win at the Develop Awards this summer, we’re delighted to be celebrating again after the TIGA Awards!

    There, we picked up the Diversity Award for recognition of the 50% Initiative, launched earlier this year by our Head of European Games Business Development Ann Hurley. The 50% Initiative was created to encourage more women to consider a career in the games industry, and to nurture and encourage talent already working in this exciting business.

    It is an honour to be recognised by our friends, customers and peers in the industry, and we’re especially proud that our efforts to help address the gender imbalance within the games industry have been appreciated. It’s an issue that is important to us here at Testronic and we’re proud that over 40 per cent of our staff at our games QA and localisation offices are female.

    We would like to thank everyone who voted for us, and a big thank you to the team at TIGA for hosting these fantastic awards, and for the great work they do for our development industry.

    And a big congratulations to the other winners, including:
