If the technological revolution is to work for everyone, it needs the input of all groups – especially the group that makes up 51% of the population: women. As women, our insights and experiences will be different to those who identify as male, so including women in the process means that we are able to create more rounded solutions. It isn’t just air conditioners that were built to be sexist , other technological mishaps that ignore women’s needs are far more problematic.
When we look at the data, we see companies that have at least one women on the board are 20% less likely to go bankrupt. We also know that companies in the top quartile for gender diversity are likely to outperform their competitors by 15%, and those in the top quartile for ethnic diversity are likely to outperform their competitors by 35%. So it’s clear that when we have a mixture of people in the room we end up creating better solutions and happier teams.
When we look at how broad the tech industry is, many people can use their varying degrees to move around different roles until they find one that fits their personality and their values. The tech industry is also lucrative. An important part of tech is that people have financial stability because tech is consistently evolving and only getting bigger. However, there is still work to be done – eight in 10 UK companies still pay men more than women, and this needs to change.
