Session: Enhance Company Diversity and Inclusion Practices Because It’s The Right Thing To Do
High visibility female leadership can go a very long way towards reducing and ultimately eliminating growth barriers so many women face today. It seems simple but it is easier said than done. Through company-wide educational programming and policies, tech leaders can make a systemic difference. But it must go further than that.
Unfortunately, not only are female underrepresented as CEOs in tech, but a lack of gender diversity in most roles still plagues the industry.
Young women need to see technology as not just a viable path, but as an attractive one. By introducing girls and women to tech and business-related skills earlier, we can increase the number of women in these roles in the future.
Priorities must not begin and end with profit and corporate growth. It is vital that all tech professionals, not only women, commit to projects outside of their day-to-day tasks dedicated to increasing diversity of all kinds. It is the right thing to do. And leaders must always encourage their teams to do the right thing.
