'80 percent of Black tech workers say they have experienced gender or racial discrimination in the workplace, with over 30 percent saying racial inequity happens “very frequently” in the tech industry.'

If you aren’t sure if bias or discrimination exists at your organization, you might consider the statistics we uncovered in ourreport, which was the culmination of a survey of over 9,000 employed technologists.

By contrast, fewer than 15 percent of white technologists see racial inequity happening as often in tech. As a non-minority technologist myself, I can understand this is a gap that can be naturally born from our variety of lived experiences. But this survey data reinforces for me as a leader that I need to look beyond my own observations.

And falling short puts companies in a precarious position to retain and attract talent. There's no market more competitive and no talent more in demand than tech professionals. They have leverage to choose their next employer and diversity and inclusion efforts are a major factor in establishing the right reputation for fostering the kind of teamwork and creativity they typically seek.
