NEW YORK, June 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report from Dice®, the leading career site for technology professionals, finds technology professionals believe discrimination in a variety of forms exists in tech today. The inaugural report surveyed nearly 4,000 technology professionals in the United States and the United Kingdom and discovered bias by gender, age, ethnicity and political affiliation still exists today, despite employers' best efforts to be inclusive.
Key Findings:
Technology professionals believe a diverse workforce can lead to a more dynamic culture and increased creativity. Discrimination can have a genuine impact on a company's ability to recruit tech talent.
"Every company today should be thinking about its diversity program and considering the immense benefit to their organization when they are inclusive," said Kristina Yarrington, VP of Marketing for Dice. "Tech professionals say it's an important factor when considering working for a company and with the highly competitive tech recruitment landscape today, neglecting this important program can mean the difference between maintaining a competitive advantage in all parts of business, or falling behind."
As companies think about their employment brand and importance of inclusiveness for recruitment, tech professionals' experience at the workplace matter. More than 59% of women and 79% of men would recommend their current employer, but that number drops to 42% of women and 58% of men when they've witnessed discrimination on the job.
The report includes tips to building a diverse workforce and additional findings on the existing pipeline issue in tech.
