Supporting Women in Tech: Female Empowerment in the Workforce

The workforce gender split, specifically within tech, has finally begun to narrow due to an incremental increase in the hiring of women over the last decade - but there is still so much more to do - and with great reason. In the UK alone, hiring more women in tech to fill our IT skills shortage gap would benefit the economy by an extra £2.6 billion each year. Despite this, currently only one in six tech specialists in the UK are women (Women in Tech). Workforce diversity should be every CEO’s priority, and it’s time to begin making big and long lasting changes to your businesses. This starts by tackling career development, community building, raising awareness, outreach and education. In this webinar we will outline what you can do to support women in tech, from an individual level, to business wide decision making. Join our panel to learn more about: - The value of community and support and how to inspire women to stay in tech - Developing mentoring schemes to support career progression - Celebrating female leadership - How men can support the female workforce – and why this is so important - Supporting young women taking their first steps into the industry - What the future looks like for women in the tech industry - And much more!
