Recent research by AND Digital indicates that 84% of women in the tech industry believe it has improved. However, women's representation in tech is only 25%, with leadership roles plummeting to 11%. Many female tech leaders express satisfaction but face challenges including gender discrimination and recognition issues. A significant number believe organizations must enhance support for women in leadership positions. While reports of gender discrimination are somewhat low, the findings highlight the ongoing need for companies to ensure equity and support for female leaders to achieve sustained progress in diversity.
It's clear that the technology industry is finally making huge strides in the way it supports and empowers the next generation of female leaders.
It's one thing to increase the diversity of your headcount, it's quite another to ensure those new hires remain supported, motivated and happy to continue in their careers.
These findings should send a clear signal to CEOs and company founders that their hard work building more diverse teams has been worth the effort.
Despite some progress, it's clear more work needs to be done - even if it's simply ensuring discrimination is addressed.
