'Having worked in the tech space for almost 20 years, I can say that there has undoubtedly been a huge shift towards making the industry a place where women can thrive.'
See your employees as people for inclusivity and diversity to become second natureWith only 14.6% senior UK tech leaders being female and 70.5% senior executive teams who do not come from a BAME background, the industry struggles with a diversity and inclusion issue.
There are some great initiatives out there breaking down the barriers for young women entering the tech world: Code First Girls, Ada Lovelace College, Stemettes and GeekGirl Meetups among others. However, once young women enter the industry, we must make sure that it is geared towards them, and indeed all employees.
When hiring the brightest people, you want to get the most out of them and give them the opportunity to reach their full potential. Autonomy, remuneration, and opportunity to upskill, is critical to ensure that everyone continues to have access to the rapidly evolving industry.
