'Fighting for greater equality, opening up about opportunities, and advocating for women from the inside is key in making a real difference.'
Despite many conversations about gender diversity in tech, women are still underrepresented, underpaid and too often discriminated against in the tech sector. While progress has been made in recent years, women working in technology roles are still significantly outnumbered and face a myriad of challenges in their careers.
One of the most common requests we receive is for our assistance in increasing diversity in our clients’ technology teams and, in particular, how they can hire more female candidates. Unfortunately, it is equally rare to find organisations that are actively doing anything to change the systemic problems that cause imbalance in the first place. Until a fundamental shift towards addressing the root causes occurs, nothing will ever change.
The online chat throughout this event was like nothing we had ever seen before. Our attendees shared deeply vulnerable experiences of discrimination, bullying, harassment and general obstacles that were distressing to read and swiftly challenged any assumptions that these issues are a thing of the past. Some of these comments have been included in this report, however I wanted to highlight a few to demonstrate that there are still so many roadblocks.
Our vision is to empower people to build a better world of work for all. Our goal with this report is to help companies around the world level the playing field for women in tech. As you read the report, you’ll see a number of clear recommendations that any business can implement today to ensure that they attract and retain top talent who happen to identify as female.
