Session: How sexual harassment is a silent killer for women's tech careers
By the age of 35, 50% of women in tech will have left the field. Companies often talk about attracting female tech talent but retention seems to be an afterthought that most organisations aren't willing to dive into. Why? Because they would find that sexual harassment, workplace misconduct and toxic workplaces play a far larger role than most can imagine.
