Low Diversity in Tech: How Did It Happen and How Do We Fix It?
Diverse perspectives foster innovation and ensure the needs of many are met. At present, tech companies lack demographic diversity. As the director of the Center for Evaluating the Research Pipeline (CERP) at CRA, Jane Stout studies factors that often encourage (or discourage) people from underrepresented groups from pursuing technical careers. Recently, Stout led an interactive and insightful webinar on issues including:
– The latest research on why this is the case
– How tech companies can turn this around
– Suggested strategies to increase diversity in our workforce
