Diverse Thinking: The best practice guide for leaders to increase diversity in IT

Diversity in the IT sector remains a huge challenge, with only 15% of the UK’s tech workforce coming from ethnically diverse backgrounds. Gender diversity is also falling behind at 19%, contrasting with the 49% representation seen in other job sectors. The emphasis on diversity within IT teams has grown in recent years, particularly as DEIB (diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging) receives increasing attention in boardrooms. There’s a growing demand from customers, employees and various stakeholders for organisations to prioritise diversity and inclusion, as they drive for a positive change in the workplace.

Our Diverse Thinking guide offers a seven-step strategy for encouraging diversity within your IT teams. Our guide outlines the benefits this can have for an organisation such as greater productivity, improved hiring processes and enhanced employee value propositions.
