'Having worked in the tech space for almost 20 years, I can say that there has undoubtedly been a huge shift towards making the industry a place where women can thrive.'

See your employees as people for inclusivity and diversity to become second natureWith only 14.6% senior UK tech leaders being female and 70.5% senior executive teams who do not come from a BAME background, the industry struggles with a diversity and inclusion issue.
