Embed Size (px)

DESCRIPTION

When Google released its diversity stats back in May, many of its Silicon Valley counterparts have been keen to come forward to demonstrate that there is safety in numbers. Our brand new infographic provides a unique insight into the data, in the form of a 'Diversitree'. We also provide a 'root cause' analysis on what is being done to address the inherent gender preference in the industry. The original image with accompanying blog post is available here: http://goo.gl/3IvJLR More insight on diversity is available in our latest Whitepaper - 'How do you solve a problem like Diversity in Tech' - which is free to download right now at: http://goo.gl/lOcRcS

Women in Tech – Safety in Numbers “Our ability to reach unity in diversity will be the perfect present for the test of our civilisation”.- Mahatma Gandhi

The White + Male Equation Since Google released its diversity stats back in May, other Silicon Valley giants have been keen to come forward.

In our ‘diversitree’, we demonstrate that there is safety in numbers:

Encourage girls from an early age

Getting to the root cause

Acknowledging that it is everyones fault

A level playing field in terms of pay and flexibility

Provide learning opportunities

Collective movements such as Change the Ratio, part of the national Code-to-Work initiative

Skills-based tech education to female scholars to spur curiosity and interest in tech

Coding as part of the curriculum Gender-neutral toys

Moving away from positive discrimination and quotas

Equal representation across the entire structure of the corporation

Ensure clients, suppliers and employees are on side

Embracing diversity policies

Training and development programmes

Gender-neutral language in job descriptions

Communication, communication, communication

Creating resources and environments that foster both genders approaches to work

What have we learned?

If Tech leadership and development teams remain dominated by men, perceptions of technical solutions will continue to only have only voice. By making tech work for women, women will work for tech; and the world will become a better place for it.
