Tech Talk: Together in DEIB - Redefining Tech Culture Beyond "Always-On"

Join our next Tech Talk: Together in DEIB Redefining Tech Culture Beyond “Always-On”!

Join us for our next Berlin Tech Talk: Together in DEIB - Redefining Tech Culture Beyond ''Always-On", where we’ll explore how to create tech cultures that support people, not just output.

In an industry often defined by always-on expectations, rapid delivery, and constant change, it’s more important than ever to ask: How do we build environments where wellbeing and performance can go hand in hand?

In this live panel discussion kindly hosted by Bettermile, we’ll be joined by a fantastic group of voices from across tech to unpack the realities of stress at work and share practical ways leaders, managers, and technologists can build healthier, more sustainable cultures.

Our speakers:

- Roe Shani - Program Delivery Manager at Bettermile

- Dr Anna Varosyan - Deputy CTO/VP of Engineering at Affinidi

- Kim Anna Kunc - Engineering Lead, Head of Platform at Bettermile

- Shruthi Sreenivasan - Head of IT Service Delivery at Enpal

- Tracy Roesler - Engineering Growth & Leadership (Fractional) at Contiamo

Led by our DEIB Community Founder & Advisor, Francesca Pollard, the panel will dive into five key areas:

⚡ Performance Culture & Always-On Expectations - How to measure impact over hours and move away from constant connectivity.

🧠 Psychological Safety & Stress - Spotting hidden pressure, giving feedback that actually helps, and reducing invisible labour.

💭 Imposter Syndrome - Creating environments where people feel confident to be themselves and have their contributions recognised.

🌿Neurodiversity & Stress - Designing workflows and flexible ways of working that reduce cognitive overload.

🔄 Career Breaks & Burnout Recovery - Reframing gaps as growth, supporting reintegration, and modelling healthy boundaries.

This session is packed with practical takeaways & insights for building healthier, more inclusive tech cultures, with the opportunity to have your burning questions answered by experienced tech leaders.
