Introduction

The tech industry is at the forefront of diversity issues, and many companies are working hard to recruit more women and minorities. Say’s Dylan Sidoo, however, there’s still work to be done. Here’s how some companies are making their organizations more inclusive of women and minorities:

Diversity in tech is a hot topic today.

Diversity in tech is a hot topic today. The lack of women and minorities in the workforce has been well-documented, but it’s not just about the lack of women; it’s also about diversity in the workplace. It’s important for companies to think about how their employees come from different backgrounds, have different experiences and perspectives, and bring those things with them when they come into work every day.

More than half of U.S. employees work remotely at least part-time, according to FlexJobs.

As many as 57 percent of U.S. employees work remotely at least part-time, according to FlexJobs. The trend toward flexible work arrangements has been driven by several factors: employee satisfaction and retention; the need for companies to attract and retain skilled workers who want more flexibility; and technological advancements that make remote work possible.

While some companies have embraced remote working because they can’t find enough qualified people locally, others are looking for ways to keep their best employees from leaving town in search of new opportunities elsewhere–or moving out altogether! A growing number of workers are also choosing this option because they want more time with family or simply don’t like commuting every day (and let’s face it – traffic sucks).

Many companies are starting to realize that diversity starts with their employees and the way they operate.

Many companies are starting to realize that diversity starts with their employees and the way they operate. Diversity can be defined as the variety of people, ideas, cultures, and perspectives in an organization or community. Inclusion refers to a state in which everyone belongs and is welcomed into an organization’s activities and processes. When these two concepts are combined in an inclusive workplace environment, they create a more welcoming company culture where everyone feels safe bringing their whole selves to work every day.

One major benefit of such an environment is that it encourages innovation by allowing people from different backgrounds to collaborate on projects together–a benefit especially important for tech companies looking for ways to improve their products by tapping into underrepresented groups’ unique experiences. Another potential benefit comes from having more diverse teams: research shows that diversity leads directly toward better financial performance for companies over time (Deloitte).

There are ways that employers can make their organizations more inclusive of women and minorities.

There are ways that employers can make their organizations more inclusive of women and minorities. First, they should ensure that managers are trained to recognize bias in hiring and promotion decisions. Second, they must hire more women and minorities into leadership roles so that the company’s workforce reflects its customer base. Finally (and this may be the most important step), companies need to ensure that the people making decisions about investments or strategy–the board of directors–reflects their customers’ diversity as well.

Conclusion

Diversity in tech is a hot topic today. More than half of U.S. employees work remotely at least part-time, according to FlexJobs, and many companies are starting to realize that diversity starts with their employees and the way they operate. There are ways that employers can make their organizations more inclusive of women and minorities: through initiatives like unconscious bias training or by hiring more diverse candidates from the start (which means that people from underrepresented backgrounds will apply).
